Surfacing

Blame is our disguise It shields and justifies When failure smarts then blame remarks It's someone else's crime Acceptance in defeat Is veiled self-deceit That drink was laced and fault is placed At someone else's feet When waters rise these alibis Won't keep me surfacing If all our plans backfire The universe conspired To trip us up and brandish luck On someone else's side When waters rise these alibis Won't keep me surfacing Hands up if you've doubted your actions make you someone Stand up and be counted, our actions cause their outcomes When waters rise I realise There's no one here but me When waters rise these alibis Won't keep me surfacing When waters rise these alibis Won't keep me surfacing I keep me surfacing I keep me surfacing
