Lyrics

Up to the Surface

From Life Without Sound2017

Written by Dylan Baldi

Produced by John Goodmanson

Lyrics

Up to the Surface

I came up to the surface Released the air With no words to remember What happened there I saw life in the shadows On foreign lines I knew peace in the terror There was a night of war away A row of islands all ablaze The sullen circle round the end In darkness I revolve again No home in the city or here on land Cold eyes all around me and where I stand A frozen planet, how could life remain? You left me alone Came up to the surface Released the air With no words to remember What happened there I saw life in the shadows On foreign lines I knew peace in the terror Of the mind
