Surrender

By Chiasm

On Relapse

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 its grasp forever

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 was not forever

You find you must surrender

And now you see the world with no disguise

It takes you in its grasp 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

The rain pours down on me

The clarity I sought would make us free

And in the fear of dawn

The innocence I dreamt about is gone
