The Surface

(album: Afterglow - 2021)

That noise, it's all in my head
Calls out, I reached the surface

It's a bend and break, it's a twist of fate
I got nothing left to lose, let it go its way

A thousand gears connected
But something inside is changing
Too dark to see, but you can feel
Subliminal thoughts, what is this meant to be

Days end, it is chasing you down
Giving in, can not take on the past right now
Locked chains in the cave of despair
You wanna come with me, I gonna be with you

I will be right here
With this cross to bear
It's all in my head
Help me out

Cause it goes faster, further, into the unknown
Moving forward, no fear, no shame, to what we could become
We are bleeding for a place, we don't belong
Turn our backs and escape the afterglow
Going higher than we ever were before
Chasing all of our dreams, not afraid to fall
I see the surface, I'm reaching out
We built our walls, now we break it down

That noise, it's all in my head
Calls out, I have reached the surface

Tight rope, but the ties are bursting
Born to live, still I need to learn this
High hopes in a cave of despair
You wanna come with me, I gonna be with you

Step by step we move
Hear the sound that goes
Writings on the wall
Let the curtain fall

Why can't I find the last missing piece
Why do I still roam in agony
Why do I still sometimes feel like shit
Although it feels like I'm back at it

Cause it goes faster, further, into the unknown
Moving forward, no fear, no shame, to what we could become
We are bleeding for a place, we don't belong
Turn our backs and escape the afterglow
Going higher than we ever were before
Chasing all of our dreams, not afraid to fall
I see the surface, I'm reaching out
We built our walls, now we break it down

Now we break it down
Yeah we break the surface
To live a life less worthless
