I Relinquish

Concealing thoughts of haunted self
Everytime i see your face
They all seem to surface
So i drink them away

I thought that i could simply hide
Pretending i could not be moved
But the presence of you on my mind
Has grown stronger

I relinquish
To the safety of your arms
To the tenderness of your smile
I surrender

I'd be your temple and you'd be mine
But you assaulted me with wit
Children burning
Innocence on fire

I relinquish
To the safety of your arms
To the tenderness of your smile
I surrender

I am with the shadows of dying light
And hide from the sun since the day you were gone
For you were the darkest kiss i've tasted
When you bit my tongue and fed me your poison

I relinquish
To the safety of your arms
To the tenderness of your smile
I surrender
