Under The Surface

Palomine
You could travel for a lifetime and still stay where you are
You could wait until the right time, resolve to make or mar
People tell you what they know, they're mostly wrong from the word go

It's under the surface and it's up in the sky
That's why you won't reach it, so don't even try, don't even try

The lines are old, yet still not weakened, you don't kow what to do
'Cause everyone else around is sleeping, the choice is up to you
Now you better watch out what you're saying, these words could cut like swords
You better watch out while you're praying, find out what you're praying for
People tell you what they know, they're mostly wrong from the word go

'Cause it's under the surface and it's up in the sky
That's why you won't reach it, so don't even try, don't even try

It's so unexpected, now how could it be true
I never would detect it if it hadn't been for you
Now I got this notion and it's bottled up inside
A swamp of emotions, there's no need to hide

It's under the surface and it's up in the sky
That's why you won't reach it, so don't even try

Now you better watch out what you're saying, these words could cut like swords
You better watch out while you're praying, find out what you're praying for

It's under the surface and it's up in the sky
That's why you won't reach it, so don't even try, don't even try
