Floating lanterns in a river of smoke Carrying names I no longer spoke They twist and bend in the violet stream Fading colors of an old, forgotten dream Surrender, surrender, the water calls my name Let the current pull me under, wash away the flame I’m breaking into feathers, dissolving into rain Oh surrender, sweet surrender, take away the pain Golden threads are snapping one by one The crown I wore is melting in the sun Whispers turning into silent wings I’m learning how to fly without these things Surrender, surrender, the water calls my name Let the current pull me under, wash away the flame I’m breaking into feathers, dissolving into rain Oh surrender, sweet surrender, take away the pain No more fighting the tide, no more holding the stone The river knows the way even when I don’t Surrender… surrender… I’m already gone… already gone… Just a ripple… on the water… moving on…
