Lyrics:
A once departed shell
Trapped down below
The surface
Above the skin
On the Wind
The Trees Passed By
Shaken to their core
The Roots grow no more
What does
to pull
As the snow fell on the surface, caught by the tension
It stayed for a moment before turning liquid
And joining the sable pool beneath it
Following
watter I cross
I done fucked up
And now I'm fucked up
And that's tough luck
Got more reasons to lie to myself than to you
Inspired by it
Burn fire by it
2 Peter 2:20
Words by Bob Hartman
Music by Bob Hartman and John Elefante
There are things that look attractive
On the surface of despair
There are
for so long
Twisting and turning
I'm going for the same direction turning
Misguided by imagination turning
Underneath surface I rest
Twisting
To the pipes network below the roads
To the rodent town below the surface
Under the ground where I belong
A familiar creaking arises
Colloquial speech made
the ether
Tied to meanings, bound to fate
Reassured by sounds that echo
Across the airwaves tuning through the waves
Of faint and distant signals
Hoping
the lead, switch it up
I'ma get money by any means, run it up
Uh huh, how can I see through my lenses
When I can't see who my friend is, huh?
Wanna be
the day Murdoc's tropical ghetto
Was raided by pirates
(Not the eye patch king - those modern
Day ones with machine guns and
No sense of flair) murdoc
taller than a giraffe (tall)
Feng shui by the mic stand, have you ever had two one-night stands? (have you ever?)
I'm a emperor, very sinister
Somewhere
They choose to bury their feelings so they could just survive
Time goes by and before you know it, death arrives
We're all rolling stones on the surface
Another year's gone rock and rollin' by
Oh how time flies
It's funny but it seems like yesterday
I put the tinsel away
It's a time we can all look
gone in a heartbeat
a dream in the
passage of time
chances are fading
this world isn't waiting
the moment is passing you by
Questions lie beneath
caught on to something by the end of the day
But mostly we think about the one that got away.
I've seen like a bird
What pleasures the surface can
Sliding through the shimmering surface between two worlds
Standing at the center of time as it uncurls
Cutting through the veil of illusion
Moving
the Nile,
Drifts a tiny little handmade boat,
It's shaped just like a smile.
And steered by a magician,
With the knowledge that he needs,
To keep him
are
We got Main Street eyes
Watchin' as the big boys roll by
Under rotten television skies
We got Main Street eyes
I saw a kitten squashed in
on your heart
We'll look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two
You
wounded deep?
Anyone could scratch your surface now
It's all amphetamine
You're blasting yourself into the present
To blur some past indignity, say that
thing, buenas noches
By the end of the night my knees are now on your chest
Fuck me bad, let me in, a cardic arrest
Make me come
Make me come
Come, we
This is the surface of Destiny
I’m movin’ forward cautiously (movin’ forward cautiously)
Sharin’ myself bit by bit
Unsure if I’m likin’ it
But
them
It's like they were from my own skull
This place, this world
Consumed by the evil
Lies lie deep below the surface
In a bunker behind steel doors
My
That it scares me, too
Dazed
By my own escape
From the single state I was used to
Face
My catch twenty two
Can I stay this way if I choose to
Wrong
Beyond the surface lies greater dissonance
Burn your candles at both ends
Watch as everything now ends
Chase your demons to the brink
You're so lost
