Terms Of Surrender

TERMS OF SURRENDER

Verse 1

You arrive without permission

With a question in your eyes

Every word becomes a weapon

Every truth becomes disguised

You don't ask me for devotion

You don't need me to pretend

You just pull me into silence

And I follow to the end

Pre-Chorus

I know what this is

I know what it does

Still I open up

Chorus

Give me the terms of surrender

Tell me the price I must pay

I could resist you forever

And still give everything away

Give me the terms of surrender

Give me a reason to stay

I could escape you whenever

But I won't walk away

Verse 2

There's a weakness in the heartbeat

There's a hunger in the will

When the body makes a promise

That the mind cannot fulfil

We can call it liberation

We can call it a mistake

But the words are decoration

When there's nothing left to save

Pre-Chorus

I know what this is

I know what it does

Still I open up

Chorus

Give me the terms of surrender

Tell me the price I must pay

I could resist you forever

And still give everything away

Give me the terms of surrender

Give me a reason to stay

I could escape you whenever

But I won't walk away

Bridge

No witnesses

No defence

No innocence

Without consequence

No alibis

No perfect lies

Only the moment

Resistance dies

Chorus

Give me the terms of surrender

Tell me the price I must pay

I could resist you forever

And still give everything away

Give me the terms of surrender

Give me a reason to stay

I could escape you whenever

But I won't walk away

Outro

I won't walk away

I won't walk away

Name your price

I'll stay
