lyrics

when you’re feeling sad and heavy in your heart succumb
when there’s nothing left for you to do but cry succumb
when the feelings rage inside you
and they’re tearing down your walls and breaking down your doors succumb

when you’re breathing heavy and you’re toiling in the heat of the sun
and the rock that you’re breaking is the aching that is making you numb
feel the pull of all your pain, it’ll suck you to the bottom, it’ll spit you on the banks again

chorus: don’t let your behaviour be controlled by how they told you to be
let your sentiments be exactly how you felt them to be when you were three

when you’re feeling slight and frightened of the light succumb
when you want to go where nobody could know succumb
when the feelings rage inside you
and they’re breaking down your walls and tearing down your doors succumb

chorus

i don’t know if what i say is helping anyone in anyway
but still i ramble on like this and hope that someone gets my drift

when you’re in the clutch of all that’s too much with no-one to touch, succumb
