BENEATH

BENEATH THE SURFACE Something's moving underneath my skin Something I buried is breathing again I hear it calling from somewhere below A voice I remember but never could know Cold hands Black rain Pulling me back through the same old pain I built these walls to keep it away But everything buried still knows my name I feel it Beneath me A shadow I can't outrun I hide it I feed it Until I become what I've run from WHAT LIES BENEATH IS CALLING MY NAME I'VE SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE TRYING TO BURY THE FLAME** Every scar has a story I never confessed Every silence is hiding the weight in my chest I tried to outrun what was haunting my head But you can't escape what you leave for dead So let it rise Let it breathe Let it tear through the lies underneath I've spent too long afraid of the sound Of everything buried coming back around I WON'T TURN AWAY I WON'T DISAPPEAR IF THE DARKNESS IS WAITING THEN LET IT COME HERE** I've lived with the noise I've slept with the dead I've heard every voice That crawled through my head No more running No more retreat If something's waiting down there— LET IT COME FOR ME. Something's moving underneath my skin But I won't let it pull me back in The walls are shaking The silence is gone Whatever was hiding— I'VE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG.
