Lyrics

Blocked and buckled, shaking in the cold
Frozen matter dangles with uncertain course

Voices talking, telling where to go
Slightly crooked questions making cynical retort

Something needs to switch
Iron will to powerless
If you know your old ways don’t work anymore
(If you know your ways don't work)
Surrender, release (Surrender and release)
Surrender, release
Surrender, release

Movement loses reason for a flash
Hanging in the balance of familiar and unknown

Biting irritations amplify and overlap
Rapid raising temper feeling helpless and alone

Something needs to switch
Iron will to powerless
If you know your old ways don’t work anymore
(If you know your ways don't work)
Surrender, release (Surrender and release)
Surrender, release

Through sacrifice and altered views
(Something needs to switch)
Of scenes reversed yet sequenced to
(And change to this)
Bring you pause enough to know
(Just let it slip)
You face the ache and let it go
(Release your grip)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Something needs to switch
Iron will to powerless
If you know your old ways don’t work anymore
(If you know your ways don't work)
Surrender, release (Surrender and release)
Surrender, release
Surrender, release
