Surrender

from Rituals by Pat Byrne

about

There's often an imbalance in relationships, where one party is more emotionally invested than the other. This song is about being on the wrong side of that imbalance!

lyrics

An aristocratic woman, falls before an acrobatic man
In cinematic Lands, he offers her his hand
But this isn't what it looks like, gathers what he's willing to invest
Then takes what she needs, and leaves all the rest

Surrender, call it quits
Don't be a hero, finish it
The sun on the valley, dimly lit
Tells you it's gone, You know it's gone

Things are moving quickly, she starts to see that glimmer in his eye
He wants to dive in, but she wants to fly
He's past the point of rescue, There's no way he can make it out alive
And his getaway plan only works if he dies

Surrender, call it quits
Don't be a hero, finish it
The sun on the valley, dimly lit
Tells you it's gone, You know it's gone

Now she's got him where she wants him, he's hanging on her every single word
Her tiger's moved in and scared off his herd
Now the aristocratic woman , just sees him as a problematic man
His acrobatic ways cost him her hand

Surrender, call it quits
Don't be a hero, finish it
The sun on the valley, dimly lit
Tells you it's gone, You know it's gone

Surrender, call it quits
Don't be a hero, kill itquick
The sun on the valley, dimly lit
Tells you it's gone, You know it's gone
