MUSIC
LISTEN
No words I can say
This time I have myself to blame
It's been a whole month
Since you told me we shoulf just give up
You gave up
I didn't want to hold on
Just wanted control of
Something I don't know of
I cannot let go of
The simple temptation
of making you face in
Something I embraced
when I should've encased it
and now you won't listen
I'll just sing until my
heart seeps through my skin
sing until you're really Listenin'
Oh, Listen
Go on and take
two giant steps backward, turn away
it was a mistake
thinkin' I could decode a whole brain
when my own is in flames
I didn't want to hold on
Just wanted control of
a part of your mind that
no one really knows of
Your inward reflection
was not mine to mess with
I kept trying to guess
when I should've just left it
and now you're smile's different
I'll just sing until my
heart seeps through my skin
sing until you're really Listenin'
Oh, Listen
So much time spent reading into you
I forgot to read into myself too
two giant steps backward I can see
I have no clue as to what I might
Sing until my
heart seeps through my skin
sing until you're really Listenin'
Oh, Listen
SURFACE
Let it run rampant through my brain and veins and I'll be sane
Prescribed or not I feel that knot each time I try to change
Let it rush in and I'll begin to forget my sin
Mountains or molehills all that weight becomes paper thin
I pray to stay above the surface
I play to stay above the surface
Ask you to stay to stay above the surface
I pray to stay above the surface
And I'll pay to stay above the surface
I take to stay above the surface
It stays away when I'm above the surface
There is no pain when I'm above the surface
Silence reminds me why I hide the truth with smiles I feign
Hand me the drink and I'll rethink why I try to change
Every qualifying thought I caught in consciousness
Fades away when faded I'm fading
I pray to stay above the surface
I play to stay above the surface
Ask you to stay to stay above the surface
I pray to stay above the surface
I'll pay to stay above the surface
I take to stay above the surface
It stays away when I'm above the surface
There is no pain when I'm above the surface
Please turn the light off
Take all your things
Leave, leave me to sleep it off
Tomorrow
We will do the same damn thing
I pray to stay
Above the surface
I ask you to stay
Above the surface
Because I'm fading
GODS
I hate navigating
situations with my dress
all the fake smiles and facades and nods
to act like I'm impressed
And my satire lines and sighs should be
sure sign of disrespect
but it always flies over inflated heads
it f%^&s with my head
I'm strong inside I know what's right
outside it's different
holistically dissonant
I turn to mine I roll my eyes
they have good intentions but they do not listen they don't know why
My head and my heart are like blurred lines
I never wanted this
we never wanted this
my northern perspective has changed
does everyone behave this way
my spirit was not meant to break
now thin pieces there for the taking
(I'm staying at the W I'm double your age does that work for you)
Be you be her
be you be her be nice
be she she she her her her her
The man is a god I've been taught
only with strong women in my blood and experience I have thoughts
that lead me to know in my heart
we are all gods
or God knows
we've been wrong a lot
