lyrics

Turn me inside out
Surrender me
Expose every crease hungry for the heat
Of your body

Unhinge with every breath
Weaken me
Reveal each weathered palm to the tides
Of your body

The dust beneath my feet
Clenched tightly as receipts
Of the miles I worked to reshape my own skin

Mountains make promises
That fold under the wind
Humbling my might in reaching the ascent

What if we hush the legs babe
Let our souls dance instead?

In your arms I’ll find refuge here
Lay down the maps there baby
Hear our bodies gently whisper

Turn me inside out
Surrender me
Expose every crease hungry for the heat
Of your body

Unhinge with every breath
Weaken me
Reveal each weathered palm
To the tides of your body

Many nights I spend fighting myself
Swirling with no way to win
Tornadoes tearing from within

A quiet voice seeps through
Like a wisp of warm tea fumes
You cradle me into the morning light

I’m sorry in advanced sweet baby
Bound to step on your wounds
Let me in let’s do the healing

Sometimes the tide will rise babe
Dive in with me
Head first into uncertainty

Can you take
Hold of me
Tear me
Stroke every piece
Go ahead
Exposing me
Can you surrender me

I can’t do anything else
Don’t take me anywhere else
Give in before all else fails
Surrender me
