Did you notice the violence
With my hands inside your hair?
The black, the white, the coldest night
The conversation's over, and you could bet it all
And you shrug it off all the way south
And you shrug it all off, and leave it alone

And my surrender keeps you from harm
And saves you for a life that's better than mine

So many miles rushed down your throat
And she sees through colored eyes all covered up with smoke
And all the fairy tales, it's the blinding light
It's your shut eyes all covered and choked

And my surrender keeps you from harm
And saves you for a life that's better than mine
And your forever severs the storm
The one that joined your eyes so steadily to mine

And my luck's on the way
But you came here and stole it all away

But what state are you in?
I think you're holding it all in
And what shape are we in?

What makes you draw your sin
(What shape are we in?)
And what makes it colored in
Is what makes your fragile heart
And what makes it fall apart
(Are we holding it all in?)

What makes you draw your sin
(So many miles)
And what makes it colored in
(Rushed down your throat)
Is what makes your fragile heart
(Rushed down your throat)
And what makes it fall apart

(You shrug it off)
What makes your draw your sin
And what makes it colored in
(All the way south)
Is what makes your fragile heart
And what makes it fall apart
What shape are we in?

And my surrender keeps you from harm
And saves you for a life that's better than mine
And your forever severs the storm
The one that joined your eyes so steadily to mine

And my luck's on the way
But you came here and stole it all away

What state are you in?
