Surfacing

Candice Alley


Living in a deeper sleep
Shallow dreams are turning me
What we hide we’ll breathe
In the end you’ll see
Pushing down what’s deep inside
With right words we hypnotise
But feelings will arise
And you wonder why

But is what we want
Really what we need?

Because I am surfacing
My empty hands still craving
And voices telling me
That I am surfacing

You’re uptight but you don’t know
When you break it will show
Always far from home
Never far from you
Living through a strangers eyes
Untold stories never die
And questions ask you why
Pain is on your side

But is what we want
Really what we need?

Because I am surfacing
Empty hands still craving
And voices telling me
That I am surfacing
And oceans uncovering
I am surfacing

Because I am surfacing
My empty hands still craving
And voices telling me
That I am surfacing
I am surfacing
And oceans uncovering
The unknown touching me
I am surfacing
