My Only Surrender

This is my only surrender
I felt my walls crumble down
naked and vulnerable
afraid to embrace the light of love

everyday, the scars were there
symptoms of a subconscious fear
I chose to walk the path of hate
I built a cage I could not escape...

we were dancing with daggers while staring straight into the sun
the love we had was fragile, like a loaded gun
but I'd take one in the head for you
if only you would see me through
the selfish hell I willingly cast myself into

through a thousand nights of solitude--I longed to love
through a thousand night of solitude--I failed to love

your words of love are still haunting me
they cripple me like a disease
as I recall moments of true peace upon these stormy seas
at the mercy of demons driving me, full of passion for misery
I somehow long to be complete, but I have yet to accept defeat

through a thousand nights of solitude--I longed to love
through a thousand nights of solitude...

this is my only surrender
I felt my walls crumble down
naked and vulnerable
I must embrace the light of love
