Beyond Your Surface
I can see beyond the surface
Pass the shouting and the cursing
That deep within yourself
You are shallow/without purpose
Like a stagnant/fetid pool
That hides behind a pretty curtain
But baby I can see
I can see beyond the surface
Pass the talk of you by you for you
Pass your feelings as a person
Pass the promises you made
With full intent to leave them broken
But I’m not blind nor I a fool
That closes eyes if I’m not certain
Because I can see, yes I can see
I can see beyond the surface
Pass the rum let me forget
That you exist within my circle
Pass your petty grievances
Haze the past with something purple
Pass the things you’re quick to claim you know
Like the ignorance of nobles
Cause they cannot see beyond
Their foibles to another person’s toil
