Our Work Of Art

Just Surrender
(album: If These Streets Could Talk)

Blood stained sheets,
What have I gotten myself into this time?
I close my eyes and I believe you.
If I should die I´ll never leave you.

I wish that I could walk away
guilt rests in my hands
I know that it is for the better
I never said that I´d compromise
between fact or fiction
there´s so much better out there
than you and me
I could end this in seconds
I know it but I don´t dare

Another sentence this all could be over
Your words are like weapons why can´t you protect me

Blood stained sheets,
What have I gotten myself into this time?
I close my eyes and I believe you.
If I should die I´ll never leave you.

I wish that you would walk away
red still lines your hands
I know that it´s still for the better
I never said that I´d stand aside
between you and the door
there´s nothing better out there
than you and me
I could end this in seconds
I know it but I don´t dare

Another sentence this all could be over
Your words are like weapons why can´t you protect me

Blood stained sheets,
What have I gotten myself into this time?
I close my eyes and I believe you.
If I should die I´ll never leave you.

Blood stained sheets.
It didn´t matter when I was calling out your name
I felt the wound grow ever slowly
closer than you´d ever hold me

It´s a work of art
the way this fell apart
was the design too faded from the start
or was the artist just too blinded by this
no it´s common sense I lack the confidence
still I´ll confess all these things to you

Take a look at yourself
and tell me what do you see
I´d take a bullet for you
you´d put a bullet through me
and as I lay on the floor
with this hole in my chest
Can you walk from the truth
with all that blood on your dress

´Cause everything that you want
is everything that I need
I would have gave it to you
but you´d have take it from me
and every word that you said
it brought me closer to sin
I close my eyes and pretend its all fading

Another sentence this all could be over
Your words are like weapons why can´t you protect me

Blood stained sheets,
What have I gotten myself into this time?
I close my eyes and I believe you.
If I should die I´ll never leave you.

Blood stained sheets. (Its a work of art)
It didn´t matter when I was calling out your name (the way this fell apart)
I felt the wound grow ever slowly (was the design too faded from the start)
closer than you´d ever hold me (from the start)

So why wait for this to go your way...
