We're all spinning 'round, but we  can't feel nothing on the surface
On the surface
All the love in the world turns cold when it breaks the surface
On the surfce

As a kid, I didn't know no better
The grimy pursuit of cheddar, the everlasting efforts, the need drastic measures
The philosophical pressures of growing older, the women and all their pleasures
I told you, didn't know no better
To triple check your emotions, don't cause a scene, write a letter
To come to terms with your motives and simmer down your vendettas
The bigger man always deads it, don't resurrect it
The time it takes to solidify friendships ain't no brittle matter
We spent years collecting data
Now backflip with ease instead of bending over backwards
But the steps it took to get included much sacrifice
Calculated risks to sail to a paradise
The circle small like the island, too small for violence
Must admit the silver lining when you widen eyelids
But this is just the pilot, we got many more seasons
Devil stricken world, we just dance amongst the heathens
Shit could go left at any time
That's why i save every penny nickel dime and made aura porcupine
You can't get close. Don't let me get whiff of this darkness, I'll need a double dose
And more of it's the only antidote so down the spiral I go
I got too way too comfortable, with loneliness it turned to bliss
What used get me pissed brings me joy now
Exceedingly poised now
Elevated by anything aiming to bring the boy down
But I survive, think about it, who am I?
Say goodbyes, breaking hearts and breaking ties
What a life, live a lie or speak your mind 
Pick a side, either side is suicide
We don't know, anything beyond the sky
But you better cling to something other than your pride 
Any target on my back is very ill advised
'Cus I just hit a level only god could terrorize 

We're all spinning 'round, but we  can't feel nothing on the surface
On the surface
All the love in the world turns cold when it breaks the surface
On the surface

Innocence turns to insanity real fast
A young boy learns of his powerlessness without cash
A young girl feels the need to learn how to shake that ass
But when you double down on both it doesn't seem half bad
You gotta get the money, then you get the girl
Couple years on you, start to understand how to rule this world
But never as a man have I thought about the kind of car she drives, or the job she has
But wait a minute I can't criticize no woman, that me you misogynistic
Don't say nothing 'bout the LGBTQ, you homophobic
Don't say nothing 'bout a black or else you a fucking racist
You damn right, this is sensitive era sealed air tight 
But that's how it is on the big blue
It's all perspective, we call our opposites sinful 
Dig inside your pockets when the rent'a due
If I was you, I would look out for myself or you'll be looking out for help soon
It gets cold 

We're all spinning 'round, but we  can't feel nothing on the surface
All the love in the world turns cold when it breaks the surface 

It ain't what you think up here
It ain't what you think, It ain't what you think
It ain't what you think up here
It ain't what you think, It ain't what you think
It ain't what you think up here
It ain't what you think, It ain't what you think
It ain't what you think
It ain't what you think at all

We're all spinning 'round, but we can't feel nothing on the surface
On the surface
All the love in the world turns cold when it breaks the surface 
On the surface

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
