My Surrender
Make me go to sleep
Make me close my eyes
As I take some time
I surrender my habits
Bless the lender
of my worn fabrics
Just once more
a peaceful day, what a delight
A soothing melody
buries the night
Make me go to sleep
Make me close my eyes
Does it feel like prison?
For I cannot remove you from my thoughts
If you will listen
Your kindness burns my scars
Like crystals of salt
As I lay ill sipping this pure life
I only ask
How much more can you endure my wife?
Make me go to sleep
Make me close my eyes
If you can bring me to my knees
I am yours
If not
I remain a lost soul at another door
I live life ugly, give me death
I laugh at strangers
In one final gasp
I am Your Saddened Angel
Make me go to sleep
Make me close my eyes
