Trust​/​Surrender (EP)

[Verse 1] Changing into a stranger in blue, can’t see the wonder in me anymore. Trapped in a dream but what does it mean, when you’ve got nothing to show for? (Trust I’ll never fade) Drunken nights and fake city lights, I slowly disappear among the fold. They sold me a race and its empty embrace, a plot I keep on following through. If God is in faith and everything’s fake, believe it’s a trapdoor, believe it’s a sham. Elusive and cold is the truth that unfolds, searching for meaning in the undertow. [Pre-Chorus] If only I could let go, give in to the unknown. If only I could let go. [Chorus 1] Surrender to all I could never control. Until the curtain call, I’ll come through. You know that I’ll come through. Surrender to all I could never control. [Verse 2] Restless mind and sleepless nights, I break apart my lasting ties. Thoughts running wild gazing the apogee, see an emptiness looking back at me. Revel in trials but savor only the struggle, you say that I’m living in a bubble. Searching for meaning in the undertow, If only I could let go. [Chorus 2] Surrender to all I could never control. Until the curtain call, I’ll come through. You know that I’ll come through. If there comes a wall, I’ll breakthrough. You know that I’ll breakthrough. If only I could let go. [Bridge] We fall, we rise. Through lows and highs, we grow to understand, these are blessings in disguise. We dream, we plan, by our words we’ll stand, Our innocence may die, but hope lives inside. We’re strong, we’re weak. It’s wondrous, it’s bleak. Lost under the weight of getting it right. We’ll win today and crash tomorrow. That’s the ride, once in a lifetime. We fall, we rise. On days and nights, feels like all I need is to… [Chorus 3] surrender to all I could never control. [Verse 3 - End] Trust I’ll never fade.

Enemy 04:03
[Verse 1] "Do you still hear the thunder? The storm has blown over. Faced with lost wonders, our darkest days lover.” [Pre-Chorus] All my life looking for someone, to uncover my eyes, make me hole. Wishing I could go back and save us, his voice I shouldn't have heard. [Chorus] Enemy, so close to me. Wait and see, he's raging for you. He's my self hate. I follow. [Verse 2] Walked a deadly path, saved by your might, grew stronger inside and escaped the night. You uncovered my eyes and showed me a way out. And all I gave to you was a disguise. Left you behind with a blackened heart. No promises of ever coming back. [Chorus] Enemy, so close to me. Wait and see, he's raging for you. He's my self hate. I follow.

[Verse Intro] I need this to be something more. [Verse] At the edge, I know there lies our way out. Going rogue. Now there's no guidance, looking over us, judging us, shaping us. We'll forget all them lies. Years I spent, playing the part. All this time I've felt apart before I found you. I know you're someone, who sees the fold come to light. I know their words say nothing to you and I feel it too. [Chorus] I need this to be something more.
