Surrender Is Treason Lyrics - Bring On The Snakes - Crooked Fingers

At the first sign of daylight you came to the door 

You'd fallen so fast you smashed on the floor 

You said that you kissed everything good goodbye 

And you laid down your head on the concrete and cried 

You cried through the evening you cried through the night 

You asked for forgiveness with all of your might 

You kept wide awake heard the voices all say 

You must be what they want or be who you say 

[Repeat: x3] 

Be what they want or be who you say 

In the mid-afternoon of the late summer sun 

You were bending and breaking and coming undone 

You went to the brink and you walked on the wire 

And you slipped and you fell in a red lake of fire 

Burning and bleeding you danced in the coals 

Wasting your flesh to salvage your soul 

Melting away in the choices you made 

You can be what they want or be who you say 

[Repeat: x3] 

Be what they want or be who you say 

Now it is late in the night and your dreading the day 

And your killing yourself in the usual ways 

Thinking you found some new reason to try 

As you choke on that reason you found and you die 

You call for a doctor you call for a nurse 

You ask for a cure but they give you a curse 

Running away from the choice that they gave 

You can be what they want or be who you say 

[Repeat: x3] 

Be what they want or be who you say
