Surrender Your Sons

Left alone

Your pale skin is a razor sharp wire

So I place these scales over my eyes

Don't touch me, I'm sick

You whisper, but I hear only what I choose

Hello, my good old friend

Your hand pulls me back from that mire

Will I look back and stare

And wonder if she's way back there?

But afterwards

My mouth will be filled with gravel

I'm left alone

You know the feeling of fear

And desperation

In the pit of your stomach

It's making you nauseous

Excitement, apprehension

You wish you could lose it all

Hello, my good old friend

Your hand pulls me back from that mire

Will I look back and stare

And wonder if she's way back there?

Hello, my good old friend

Your hand pulls me back from that mire

Will I look back and stare

And wonder if she's way back there?

But afterwards

My mouth will be filled with gravel

And afterwards

I'm left alone

The fear of dealing with this is

Stronger than the fear of just forgetting this

And future, I'm scared of you

And future, I'm scared of you (Future, I'm scared of)

Scared of you

Hello, my good old friend

Your hand pulls me back from that mire

Will I look back and stare

And wonder if she's way back there?

I swear, I will find my way back

I swear, I will find my way back to the light

I swear, I swear

Now that I'm left alone

I'm left alone
