Crooked Fingers - Surrender Is Treason lyrics

At the first sign of daylight you came to the door You'd fallen so fast you smashed on the floor You said that you kissed everything good goodbye And you laid down your head on the concrete and cried You cried through the evening you cried through the night You asked for forgiveness with all of your might You kept wide awake heard the voices all say You must be what they want or be who you say In the mid-afternoon of the late summer sun You were bending and breaking and coming undone You went to the brink and you walked on the wire And you slipped and you fell in a red lake of fire Burning and bleeding you danced in the coals Wasting your flesh to salvage your soul Melting away in the choices you made You can be what they want or be who you say Now it is late in the night and your dreading the day And your k**ing yourself in the usual ways Thinking you found some new reason to try As you choke on that reason you found and you die You call for a doctor you call for a nurse You ask for a cure but they give you a curse Running away from the choice that they gave You can be what they want or be who you say
