Surfaced

I set my words on the ground, and I was grinding my teeth.

I planned the pieces alike to see if planets could speak.

It took my mind by surprise and I was finally free

from all my darkest days.

I found my heartbeat again and dropped to my knees.

There was the sun in my eyes, it made a star out of me.

It's like my life was a list,

and my head was first to get crossed off.

And it's a pleasure that I keep

to sit down with my friends and talk about my day.

Can you hear me? Well I don't even care.

I'll stop my screaming to look the other way.

It's been a bad year, so let me sleep in one more day.

I really found that simple things live closest to your home.

I'm not alone because I live inside a world that is my own.

I haven't found what I've been looking for yet,

but you can count on me to stay forever.

And that's the truth, we'll stay just fine.

I'm coming back and just on time

to be myself again, the way that made me real.

So tell me have you surfaced yet?

This is how it felt when I was growing up

and being part of no one but you found yourself.

And that says a lot to me these days.

I'm sorry for the way I used to be.

I was just a kid.

Can you hear me? Well I don't even care.

I'll stop my screaming to look the other way.

It's been a bad year, so let me sleep in one more day.

I really found that simple things live closest to your home.

I'm not alone because I live inside a world that is my own.

I haven't found what I've been looking for yet,

but you can count on me to stay forever.

Yeah, let me sleep it off.

"Try not to be hard on yourself", was all I ever heard from her.

I finally think I understand what she was saying to me.

Because nothing's worth the pain in your back, believe in that.

The world can take control, but don't ever lose your heart.

Because I know you better than that.
