Lyrics

Sweet Surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Searching the institution

Chasing the grand illusion

All the way, away

Turn every stone to find it

Filling my empty mind

It falls away, away

Beats on my devotions

Like a hammer hits a nail

With your sweet surrender

Fill up my emotions

Like a wind fills out a sail

With your sweet surrender

Beats on my devotions

Like a hammer hits a nail

With your sweet surrender

Fill up my emotions

Like a wind fills out a sail

With your sweet surrender

Finding the key to open

A heart that was never broken

With a smile, a smile

Look for whoever sold me

On a feeling nobody told me

Could be wild, so wild

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Searching the institution

Chasing the grand illusion

All the way, away

Turn every stone to find it

Filling my empty mind

It falls away, away

Beats on my devotions

Like a hammer hits a nail

With your sweet surrender

Fill up my emotions

Like a wind fills out a sail

With your sweet surrender

Beats on my devotions

Like a hammer hits a nail

With your sweet surrender

Fill up my emotions

Like a wind fills out a sail

With your sweet surrender

Beat on my devotions

Like a hammer hits a nail

It's a sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Beat on my devotions

Like a hammer hits a nail

It's a sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Beat on my devotions

Like a hammer hits a nail

It's a sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender
