Chiasm – Surrender lyrics

I lie alone

I lie alone

"We gotta roll, we gotta roll..."
"Our captain spotted a, erm, a threat and he told the Gardner to engage and the Gardner engaged and destroyed the target."
"You know I used to been shot at, and we were right there when it happening."

I lie alone
The fog surrounds me and I know that it's not right
I must escape this awful state of night
So here I tread
And standing still without a phase of sight to dread
The noise completes the pictures in my head

You learn you must surrender
It's taken time for you to realize
That what you felt was not forever
You find you must surrender
And now you see the world with no disguise
It takes you in and grasps forever

"Since then we've seen a lot of a, a bombs and missiles going off... That last time when it hit so close to us, it was, it was very, erm, eye-opening..."

The rain pours down on me
The clarity I sought would make us free
But in the depths of fate
The answers drowned beneath this mud of hate
I gasp to breathe the cause
That brought us to this place yet here we pause
And in the fear of dawn
The innocence I dreamt about is gone

You learn you must surrender
It's taken time for you to realize
That what you felt is not forever
You find you must surrender
And now you see the world with no disguise
It takes you in, it grasps forever

You find you must surrender
And now you see the world with new eyes
The love you felt was not forever
You find you must surrender
And now you see the world with new eyes
And taste the truth of now and never

I'm alone

The rain pours down on me
The clarity I sought would make us free
But in the fear of dawn
The innocence I dreamt about is gone
