From the footsteps of my conscience
My words begin to bleed
As I boldly question the innocence
Of my love and I's boneless deeds
Can I pass excuse for context,
Swipe the cue-cards before the heart?
I feel the calling of surrender
Within the pause before the start

Gypsies call the fall of bones to ice
Ripples freeze all cross my face
I needn't search reward in paradise
I've settled too long for such a place
Can I sip love's milk without cause for sleep,
Drink without the fear of darts,
And feel the calling of surrender
Without the pause before the start?

I feel I've bred too long something moving
In the bed of another's room
Where I've offered up punch-drunk memories
Without meantion of creation's broom
Can I expect of love a reflection
Ignoring kindness of another's part,
And feel the calling of surrender
Without the pause before the start?

I remember hearts dripping heavy
Like I remember waking in reverse
When you'd blame yourself less and less
Mistaking good things for bad to worse
Can my song be meant for singing
From the end right up to the top?
A chorus filled with feelings of surrender
Without a pause before the start

Definitely....sing it loud and clear,
without hesitation.
