Surface World
It was suddenly above us
Looming over everything
Murmur in the hearts
Rumbling from the dark
Got the glass shaking in its frames
Helpless rage, surrounded
With our lashing all starting to slip
No shelter from the sky
We were lying supine
Laughing at the face of it
Just another way to keep on living
Minute to minute, whatever it takes
Better now to have us here
Taking in the scene
A sunny season out
In a panorama town
And we're higher
Than we've ever been
Pressing palms to steady us
Swaying like ripened fruit
She said, "It just won't do
To go back there
After living up here with you"
One day I will go under too
Free from love and higher truth
I'll sink down lower
Than they thought I could
Free from the surface world
It's true we can't escape
We're left to make peace with it
To fairly meet the end
"The next time we get together"
Fair warning
"I won't settle for a cheap goodbye
Every question sorted
No more cutting any corners
While we're limping for the finish line"
One day I will go under too
Free from any follow through
I'll sink down lower
Than they thought I could
Far below the surface world
I'll go
Nothing's harder to face alone
Sometimes it feels
Like an empty journey
With destination unknown
One day I will go under too
Free from heaven and higher truth
I'll sink down lower
But right this moment
It's time for me to face
The truth we can't escape
All the consequences
Of the mess we made
Left to make amends
To freely greet the end
