Surfaced

I set my words on the ground

and I was grinding my teeth.

I planted

Pieces of light to see if planets could speak.

It took my mind by surprise

When I was finally free

Through all my darkest days

I felt my heartbeat

Again, and dropped to my knees

There was a sun in my eyes that made

A star out of me

It's like my life was a list

And my head was first

To get crossed off

It's the 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 if you look the other way

It's been a bad year

So let me sleep in one more day

I really found the 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

Yeah, let me sleep this 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
