"No Surrender Comes For Free" lyrics - JOSEPH ARTHUR

Your pupils are almost always pinned
Fly like you will the shape of the wind
Skating on ice at once thinning and thinned
You wait to fall through to do it again

Your eyes are like pins stabbing my neck
Vampire needs on trains that you wreck
Your heart is a ghost or barely a speck
Play every game and load every deck

Your pupils so small, go high to the end
Internal worlds fall and dreams just descend
Disguised all the time an enemy's friend
Relationships die and never will mend

Under your skull clouds of pure bliss
As you give in to the vampire kiss
A cut in your heart appears on yer wrist
Giving to time the denial of this

No surrender comes for free
No surrender comes for free
No surrender comes for free
No surrender comes for free

Pills just dissolve in bellies of dust
And float to your eyes emotion you trust
Like Bob Dylan said, life is sad and a bust
But to get by you face what you must

All your lies can't save you now
A selfish world that broke somehow
Over the moon you jump like a cow
As leaches of thoughts squirm under your brow

Tricks, licks, kicks, and dicks
All get bought and sold and mix
Words break bones like stones and sticks
As you run out of veins to fix

Shattered eyes still smiles wide
Under clouds you love to hide
You'd rather die than swallow pride
As walls build up and up inside

But no surrender comes for free
No surrender comes for free
No surrender comes for free
No surrender comes for free
That's right

A cloudy demon with angel breath
Floating forward backward death
Nothing to gain and nothing left
Just the evidence of theft

From yourself you stole what's true
If it could work, I'd do it too
Follow the lonely line of you
Until there's no way to come back through

Bleeding eyes and holy toes
Blissful fingers where no one goes
The things you've done, no one knows
But what you hide still always shows

Touching on epiphany
But no surrender comes for free
No surrender comes for free
No surrender comes for free

Follow you or follow me
Follow you or follow me
No surrender comes for free
If they could see the things you see

No surrender comes for free
If they could see the things you see
No surrender comes for free
Follow you or follow me
No surrender comes for free
No surrender comes for free

No surrender comes for free
No surrender comes for free
That's right
