Lyrics
Why has it taken so long
to admit to what I see?
The swirling vortex of malevolence
that has engulfed me.
The deafening sound of silence
I struggled drowning out.
Powerless to this feeling controlled,
by submission I wept out...
"I surrender!"
I wave my white flag of defeat.
Life is a battlefield
and to that I must concede.
Accepting my failures, loneliness and pain
is where I've been led to.
Accepting defeat is an eventuality,
not a victory but it's all I can do...
Why did everything
turn out this way?
I believed in my intentions
that I was my best self every day.
Humanity fronts ideologies
of a peaceful co-existence.
A hope I held true to me,
but my beliefs were met with such hostility and resistance...
"I surrender!"
I wave my white flag of defeat.
Life is a battlefield
and to that I must concede.
Accepting my failures, loneliness and pain
is where I've been led to.
Accepting defeat is an eventuality,
not a victory but it's all I can do...
Overlooked, ignored, brushed off
in hours of desperation when I needed someone most.
Now I'm surrounded with death and life,
Isolated in crowds of memories
as a hollow shell... a ghost...
All the moments we experience
throughout this life.
Hold on dearly. Contentment isn't guaranteed
as I've learned through my strife.
In this darkest space where
silent shadows consume my soul
Bewildered if my echoed mourns
are going out or in.
Acceptance is my only choice as it's
Impossible for me to win!
"I surrender!"
I wave my white flag of defeat.
Life is a battlefield and to that I must concede.
Accepting my failures, loneliness and pain is where I've been led to.
Accepting defeat is an eventuality, not a victory but it's all I can do...
I surrender...
