Under the surface

#music #song [Verse 1] Still water, nothing moves On the outside, I look like I’m okay Say the words I’m supposed to say Let it pass like any other day Keep it quiet, keep it clean Hide the cracks in between No one sees what’s underneath If I don’t let it reach the surface [Pre-Chorus] But it’s getting harder just to breathe Holding everything inside of me [Chorus] There’s more under the surface More than I can show Every wave I bury Only makes it grow I’ve been keeping it together But I’m coming undone If I let it all rise I don’t know what I’ll become [Verse 2] Little cracks begin to show In the silence I can’t control Every thought I push away Finds a louder way to stay I’m smiling like it’s fine But it’s chaos in my mind Like a storm I can’t outrun Waiting for the flood to come [Pre-Chorus] I can feel it breaking through All the things I never say to you [Chorus] There’s more under the surface More than I can show Every wave I bury Only makes it grow I’ve been keeping it together But I’m coming undone If I let it all rise I don’t know what I’ll become [Bridge] If I let the water in Would it wash away the weight? Or would it pull me under Everything I tried to escape? I’ve been holding back the tide But it’s stronger every night Maybe drowning isn’t falling… Maybe it’s just losing the fight [Final Chorus] There’s more under the surface I don’t wanna hide All the waves I’m fighting Are pulling me inside I can’t keep it together Like I always do So if it all comes crashing down… At least it’s finally true [Outro] Still water on the top… But I’m learning how to break What I kept beneath the surface Doesn’t have to stay
