the title track.
Lyrics
i'm sick and I'm tired of this wheeling and dealing
I'm a real human being with natural feelings
in all of this searching and hiding and sneaking
i never had no idea what i was seeking
why did I put so much bullshit around it
whatever it is i have finally found it
a lost key in the back of a dusty old drawer
that fits only the lock of some forgotten door
maybe it's time i found out what it's for
take me take me home
i surrender i surrender i surrender
i think that it's time we got out of this circus
the more that we suffer the harder they work us
rolled in the undertow caught in the drama
like a wee little baby you cry for your mama
you've a right to be sad but it's cost you too dearly
step out of the darkness and see it all clearly
but can you only see the walls that surround us?
the meaningless barriers placed all around us?
did you let circumstances define who you are?
as waters engulf us we reach for a star
take me take me home
i surrender i surrender i surrender
take me take me home
i remember, i remember: i surrender
i tried and I tried to make you go my way
I may as well give up and just hit the highway
I might as well have been trying to stop flowers from growing
or stand in a river and stop it from flowing
i still feel the silver connection between us
nothing and no-one can make it demean us
i was pulling and pulling to keep it from snapping
now i'm going to let go and find out what happens
sometimes you just have to start where you are
as waters engulf us we reach for a star
take me take me home
i surrender i surrender i surrender
take me take me home
i remember, i remember: i surrender
why do i do all of this over and over?
I'm rolling in barbed wire, it coulda been clover
you are far from the shore so stop all your clowning
cause nobody else here can save you from drowning
let go of everything, feel yourself falling
if you're dry on your feet it's much better than crawling
let's all stand up and become who we are
as waters engulf us we reach for a star
