Icontest Week 10, ...and no whining, 'k? Options

[Feral Phoenix]

This week's challenge is Song Lyrics 3 (again, again, I know. I've had these planned for a long time, and they're not changing no matter HOW much you whine).

And the song we are using this time is Sweet Surrender, by Sarah McLachlan (and I don't care if you hate Sarah McLachlan--the lyrics to this song are great ones to use for icon-making!)

The lyrics are under spoiler tag:

it doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I've left behind me
is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
from where I can't return
where every step I took in faith
betrayed me
and led me from my home

and sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

you take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
(who are you?)
are you an angel
am I already that gone
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm down here
on my knees

and sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
(who are you?)
sweet surrender
is all that I have to do

and I don't understand
by the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall

I miss the little things
I miss everything about you

it doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I left behind me
is a cold room

sweet surrender is all that I have to give
(who are you?)
sweet surrender is all that I have to do

Icons are due Monday; I better have a good haul or else. *cracks whip*
