  1. Surrender -:-- / 4:47

Black clouds forming again
Feel that change in the wind
Even the crows have abandoned the trees
Forces of nature will do as they please

I’m gonna open all the windows
Let the rain pour in
I’m gonna run through every hallway and room yelling,
“Come on, come on”
I’ll leave you everything that you know
Before I slip into the dawn
And when the light comes you won’t even notice I’m gone

Here comes that ominous sound
Flood walls tumbling down
There’s no denying the climate has changed
Storm of the century five times since May

I’m gonna open all the windows
Let the rain pour in
I’m gonna run through every hallway and room yelling,
“Come on, come on”
I’ll leave you everything that you know
Before I slip into the dawn
And when the light comes you won’t even notice I’m gone

It’s the seventeenth of September and finally tonight
The last battles have ended
See the sheets on the line waving white in surrender

The whole house washes downstream
Time rolls over the scene
All of my footprints lead out of the frame
Even the crows have forgotten my name
