Evidence points the failure in three different directions
it makes it's pass as my eyes fold from the rejection
it's decided and you have suffered for far too long
again and again you believed, you believed that i was wrong
you are parched of the truth
but drown in the water of the truth, the truth that you abused

it was one january morning that you realized
you lost everything and everything lost its place today
nothing ever stays the same
memories even change
casting distorted images of my face

after all
after all our backs are to the wall
sweet surrender

if you stared long enough this picture would begin to clear
beyond the blur is the truth that, that you can not seem to bare
sixteen acts of desperation in paralell to each other
a beautiful warmth within this absence you have discovered

it was one january morning that you realized
you lost everything and everything lost its place today
nothing ever stays the same
memories even change
casting distorted images of my face

after all
after all our backs are to the wall
sweet surrender

i remember warmth through sunrise
and feeling alive through you
speaking a wish now from eyes to sky
to remove sight and rely on touch tonight
this one last time from eyes to sky
and we never realized
we chase dreams that are in front of our eyes

after all
after all our backs are to the wall
sweet surrender
