The Surface

by Eggtan

on The Surface (2023)

I try not to hold on to all of my fears
They float to the surface and then disappear
I wonder if they still exist way up there
Or fade into air
They set the tempo and I tried to keep up
Knew it'd be easier if I just gave up
All of my dreaming, the future that I want
Time is so fleeting leading me on
Gotta get better at the things that I do and
I gotta stop crying or I won't improve when
I feel alive, I'll feel much more lucid
If I keep trying I know I can do this so
Why does karma have a grip on me?
Blindly changing my reality, ah
One day I'll make a mastеrpiece
Until then…
Holding my brеath I guess time marches forwards
Missing the people I used to grow bored with
Not that I need them I'm fine being a lone
Still think of them when I miss home
I gotta better at the things that I'm doing
There's no use crying I'm still not improving
But I feel alive now, swear I'm so lucid
Spent too much time to still think I can't do this


I won't lie
Oh, karma has a grip on me
Blindly changing my reality, ah
“So what you made a masterpiece?”
“What comes next?”
I am not dumb, and I am not stupid
I know exactly what comes if I do this
Read every warning, know them by heart
But it's not living until I see stars
And I'm not the one, who has all the answers
Don't know the tricks that will make it come faster
I'll be honest, although I'm unsure, right now I feel certain
I'll see myself on the surface
Sometimes, it hurts to create, I feel it there
How my hands like to shake in the surface air
I just wanted to be you, it isn't fair
It never is, on the surface
(Sometimes, it hurts to create, I feel it there
How my hands like to shake in the surface air
I just wanted to be you, it isn't fair
It never is, on the surface)
