Beneath the Surface (A Side)

Soulful pretty vocals bring a fresh shot of weariness
Late nights on the grind, working two jobs to survive
Bills piling up, dreams just out of reach (out of reach)
You're stuck in the cycle, trying to keep your head above (head above)
But the world don't care, it just keeps pushing you down
(pushing you down)

Beneath the surface, where the real struggles lie (struggles lie)
We hide the pain, but it's burning deep inside (burning deep)
Keep smiling through it all, but behind closed doors
We fight battles no one sees, just trying to survive
(trying to survive)

Beneath the surface, where the real struggles lie (struggles lie)
We hide the pain, but it's burning deep inside (burning deep)
Keep smiling through it all, but behind closed doors
We fight battles no one sees, just trying to survive
(trying to survive)

Scrolling through your feed, everyone's living their best life
(best life)
But behind the filters, it's a different story, right? (story right?)
You're tired of pretending, tired of the lies (tired of the lies)
But you put on a show, 'cause that's how you get by (how you get by)

Tension builds, vocals delayed, a rising beat
Every day's a hustle, but the rent's still late (rent's still late)
You're chasing dreams, but they're slipping away (slipping away)
No one sees the tears, no one hears the cries (hears the cries)
But you keep going, 'cause you're stronger than pain
(stronger than pain)

You lie awake, staring at the ceiling above (ceiling above)
Counting every crack like the scars you hide (try to hide)
You wonder if it's worth the pain and sacrifice (pain and sacrifice)
But deep down, you know you have that fire inside (fire inside)

You lie awake, staring at the ceiling above (ceiling above)
Counting every crack like the scars you hide (try to hide)
You wonder if it's worth the pain and sacrifice (pain and sacrifice)
But deep down, you know you have that fire inside (fire inside)

Beneath the surface, where the real struggles lie
We fight battles no one sees, just trying to survive
