Surface

from A Brief Smile by Peter Turk

/

lyrics

The faces they hide
The times that they cried
The spaces inside
From rules they'd abide by

The parts that they played
The lives that they made
Decisions they weighed
On all their afraid of

There were nights that I'd plead
Just to be somebody other than me
In time I did concede
That we are worth more than
We could ever see

To fate they were tied
And all that implied
The feelings of pride
Absent and denied

They'll never agree
On what's best for "me"
It's hard to foresee
What will set us free

There were nights that I'd plead
Just to be somebody other than me
In time I did concede
That we are worth more than
We could ever see

We've been told these lies
Of being solely the surface we advertise

Now it's time to revise
Our understanding of what
We do comprise
