Underneath An Utopian Paradise

I have faith in brighter days like these And have hope in kinder ways of speech please I have no doubt in this mind… I don’t want to be left behind Collect my tears of endless sorrow Hopefully, there’s another tomorrow To handle with my hefty grip properly To carve like I do to precious pottery I am underneath the surface I am underneath the surface Forevermore, to the core, You’ll be mine and more I could have sworn I’ve been here before The blessed breeze Will blow at ease So, quit being a tease to me Underneath the surface of ecstasy The surface of surrendering serenity I will endure, for You’re my cure in brighter days like these So, please do me a favor and set me free at total ease I have no more hope left to find But I am no longer awfully blind I am underneath the surface I am underneath the surface Forevermore, to the core, You’ll be mine and more I could have sworn I’ve been here before The blessed breeze Will blow at ease So, quit being a tease to me Underneath the surface of ecstasy The surface of surrendering serenity I am underneath the surface I am underneath the surface Forevermore, to the core, You’ll be mine and more I could have sworn I’ve been here before The blessed breeze Will blow at ease So, quit being a tease to me Underneath the surface of ecstasy The surface of surrendering serenity I am underneath the surface Below the footsteps of your progress Below the undertow…showered under Snowed asunder, I know, by your thunder It would be so much funner If we surrender to the summer breeze It would be so much better If we smile in worst times at total ease I am underneath the surface… The surface…above the ground I am beneath the awful avarice… Of this so-called tranquil town without a sound Snowed under by distress more or less Underneath the surface of worthlessness You blew over the shield of unbroken pride And handed me the robe of humility that’s now by my side Handling me with protection and shelter that never died I am underneath the surface I am underneath the surface Forevermore, to the core, You’ll be mine and more I could have sworn I’ve been here before The blessed breeze Will blow at ease So, quit being a tease to me Underneath the surface of ecstasy The surface of surrendering serenity Forevermore, You’re the one I adore Please don’t shut the front door on me or this heart won’t repair properly I have freedom of speech and I-I-I will use it as I see fit Can’t you see I’m no sparkling sea…I’m a hatred and envy mixture…it injures me… I admit, You’re my kingdom of glory that’s beyond legit Please don’t set our solace spirits free…where do I flee? You’re the one I don’t hate As of late I am in appall as my soul falls apart I hear the siren calls and I take heart Have you caught me before I fell Into the cell of my own horrid hell? Underneath the surface of the sea Is where my heart lies…I don’t believe your abominable lies (I will survive) Beneath the surface of your happy, There’s a sadness that lies awake with nestled lullabies (kills me alive) Speaking dyslexia in my head My head is overflowing with dread Go ahead and hurt me inside instead Soon, you’ll feel my pain like veins exposed to lead I will soon go to bed…go to bed…go to bed… As long as I’m no longer Underneath happiness and hanging by a thread I am no longer a loner All alone… Not on my own It is shown In your unstoppable eyes that shine In your mind’s eye that is beyond divine You’re looking fine in the sunbeams of time…in its prime… You’re mine for now on till we get caught in this love crime It’s not unknown You and I own Have you dealt with the cards of loveless life Or reaped what you sown minus the strife? Have peace in your stride Abide by His side, Despite being underneath the surface in which you languish With abominable lies in mind that led you to your eerie anguish
