Let it run rampant through my brain and veins and I'll be sane Prescribed or not I feel that knot each time I try to change Let it rush in and I'll begin to forget my sin Mountains or molehills all that weight becomes paper thin I pray to stay above the surface I play to stay above the surface Ask you to stay to stay above the surface I pray to stay above the surface And I'll pay to stay above the surface I take to stay above the surface It stays away when I'm above the surface There is no pain when I'm above the surface Silence reminds me why I hide the truth with smiles I feign Hand me the drink and I'll rethink why I try to change Every qualifying thought I caught in consciousness Fades away when faded I'm fading I pray to stay above the surface I play to stay above the surface Ask you to stay to stay above the surface I pray to stay above the surface I'll pay to stay above the surface I take to stay above the surface It stays away when I'm above the surface There is no pain when I'm above the surface Please turn the light off Take all your things Leave, leave me to sleep it off Tomorrow We will do the same damn thing I pray to stay Above the surface I ask you to stay Above the surface Because I'm fading
