Surface Sounds

I can try to find a brush to hide ya
I'll paint in your highlights
But I can't take the blues away
Several times we've tried and it took time
I'm not green with envy
I'm just feeling grey today
These sounds, they bounce around my head
And float to the surface
They seem to echo in the waves
I'm just counting down 'til I'm allowed
To repeat my verses
But some day they'll all sound the same

Keep your eye on
The horizon
And you might see them drift away

Have you gone deaf?
Can you hear the surface sounds?
Or is it best
To stick your fingers in your ears
But I forget
Just how I managed to
Slip the net
And break away when all of you got
Hoisted up, up there

I've had enough, the waves are rough
I'll swim to the shore then
The tide is safer far away
I'm just so fed up and out of luck
I did this before when
I set my hopes up on today
Your eyes are shut, so give it up
You're not seeing clearly
I should listen to what they say
But I'll tell you what, I've not forgot
What I was before this
Tell me if it's safe to stay

Keep your eye on
The horizon
And you might see them drift away

Have you gone deaf?
Can you hear the surface sounds?
Or is it best
To stick your fingers in your ears
But I forget
Just how I managed to
Slip the net
And break away when all of you got
Hoisted up, up there

Up there, it scares me
The people ware me out
Up there, it can't be
What everyone makes it out to be

Have you gone deaf?
Can you hear the surface sounds?
Or is it best
To stick your fingers in your ears
But I forget
Just how I managed to
Slip the net
And break away when all of you got
Hoisted up, up there
