Surface

Lyrics

Silver in the walls
Moves when I breathe
The ceiling opens slowly
Like a wound underneath

Streetlights melt in rain
Faces lose their shape
Every word you gave me
Feels digitally made

There’s a crack beneath the picture
A pulse behind the screen
Something in the distance
Watching what I mean

Surface
Pulling apart
Layers of static wrapped around my heart

Surface
Nothing aligns
Love turns liquid when exposed to light

I keep reaching through
Through the glow
But the deeper I go
The less I know

Your voice inside the glass
Warm but incomplete
Like a song remembered wrong
Repeating in my sleep

I hold a memory
It flickers into noise
Someone used your silhouette
To imitate your voice

Every mirror bends a little
Every shadow splits
Truth arrives in fragments
Never where it fits

Surface
Pulling apart
Layers of static wrapped around my heart

Surface
Nothing aligns
Love turns liquid when exposed to light

I keep reaching through
Through the glow
But the deeper I go
The less I know

If I strip the color out
Will the world survive
Or collapse into a signal
Barely still alive

If I tear your image down
Frame by frame by frame
Will I find somebody real
Or just another name

The surface opens wide
Quiet underneath
Something waits below
Wearing parts of me
