Ollie Harryson - At the surface

Oh
Please don't look at me
I don't really want to be seen
I just don't know how I feel
Going in circles like a vulture let me be

No, no one will set me free
I know you won't make me happy
I feel like the colors of the sea
From blue to purple, soft and hurtful, endlessly
I'm a curse in a world of no sympathy

But at the surface it is perfect, not like me
But the surface is close but out of reach

If it was winter I could blame the ice sheet
If it was storm I could blame the wind
But now it's perfect at the surface yet I'm beneath
I was glory, I was vengeance, I was the bringer of peace
Now I'm a burden below the surface and I reek
From a submerged and out of service symphony

My brain is clogging up with algae
Soon I'll be hidden covered under coral reefs

At least then I'll be concealed
Hidden from histories judging pencil
All the hymns forget about me
Beneath the surface I'm a worthless peace of steel
Sinking slowly to the bottom of the sea

But at the surface it is perfect, unlike me
At the surface I'll be perfect, I'll be free

If it was winter I could blame the ice sheet
If it was storm I could blame the wind
But now its perfect at the surface yet I'm beneath
I was glory, I was vengeance, I was the bringer of peace
Now I'm a burden below the surface and I reek
From a submerged and out of service symphony

At the surface it is perfect unlike me
