Quiet Surrender

About 20 people in this room, lights on and cameras all around Dreadfully waiting for your hand to reach mine while I'm more luminous than ever The time has come and you walk gracefully near me Held out your hand to the one beside me

Bottle up my mistakes and ship them to your face Your abrasive lies that only worked with me once

I am breaking from the world's weight A quiet surrender that transcends your wounded soul Gave you all of me just for you to choose her Filling this pedestal with the ocean behind my eyes

Did you know about her secrets? Did you see all of her caskets?

And so I take up the mantle of own-doing's scars of choice Leave you all behind only for my ship to hit an iceberg Another soul who craves my lips set sail and step forth for this wicked animus Held out his hand beautifully and lit the flame within me

Bottle up my mistakes and ship them to your face (fuck you) Your abrasive lies that only worked with me once

I am breaking from the world's weight A quiet surrender that transcends your wounded soul Gave you all of me just for you to choose her Filling this pedestal with the ocean behind my eyes

You now know about her secrets You now opened all her caskets

Ah, ah, ah Not even two months in and the knot is already untying Ah, ah, ah The redirection of chaos that made me dodge a bullet Now I'm in silent inquisition of what could've been But the stains you left in my heart now being brushed by a better man You open up the bottle and dust away my ashes of intention

I am breaking from the world's weight A quiet surrender that transcends your wounded soul Gave you all of me just for you to choose her Filling this pedestal with the ocean behind my eyes

You now know about her secrets You now opened all her caskets
