On the Surface

On The Surface On the surface The new life is the same With different meaning And dried up new terrain And I can tell you That I've been doing just fine, but I'd be lyin' We're drawing circles Our shits still on the peak Jumping' hurdles But you're still leaving me And I can do it without you, but I can't say what I'd be going through Cause the day you left was the last one I could know But the body rises from its ashes in the snow And to all of these survivors, who've lasted through the year I ask you now to help me strip away unwanted fears And give me strength to stand this And courage to obey Empower me with wisdom that can take away my pain Cause you know that I'm out here asleep And you held the only love to awaken me There's no need to cry out I'm too weak, tired, and lonely On the surface I can make it seem like I'm A-OK but I can't get better with you watching me I know you're looking closely Like a spy with a broken eye Just remember I'm trying to find a better topic than the lack of you and I And I can't remember the way you're skin felt touching me Or your moody temper, that had me pleading down at your knees Or the stories you would tell to a crowd so eagerly I wish they still could be apart of me And I know in my heart there's a piece missing I think But did you lose it when you dove in and started sinking To all of these survivors, who've lasted through the year I ask you now to help me strip away unwanted fears oh And give me strength to stand this And courage to obey Empower me with wisdom that can take away my pain Cause you know that I'm out here asleep And you held the only love to awaken me There's no need to cry out I'm too weak and tired Oh there's no need to cry cause I'm too weak, tired, and lonely
