Dawes Just Beneath the Surface song lyrics

Have you ever thought your little girl glamour shots

And the events of that whole day spent at the mall

Is maybe a part of you you didn't know you were clinging to?

As if that's where the secret had taken its hold most of all

Like a feather that finds its invisible path as its fall

Just beneath the surface there's another one of me

At the root of all my trouble, in the twitch before I speak

With thoughts and revelations even I could not accept

So just beneath the surface is where he will stay kept

When you talk about me, do you stick to the memories?

Or was I just another victim of the case?

The one that went cold on you the way it was meant to do

For any detective that hasn't accepted his place

And still wanders a city in hopes of it showing its face

Just beneath the surface there's another one of me

At the root of all my trouble, in the twitch before I speak

With thoughts and revelations even I could not accept

So just beneath the surface is where he will stay kept

Between the thoughtless words and the wordless thoughts

Between my pointless fears and my fearless plots

Between the parts of me I keep from you and the things that I'm just not

The center keeps on drifting

the music never stops

Just beneath the surface there's another one of me

At the root of all my trouble, in the twitch before I speak

With thoughts and revelations even I could not accept

Just beneath the surface is where he will stay kept
