The Underside by Caroline in the Garden

I saw the sign
and it opened up my eyes
its the same old line
from the recess of my 90s mind

tell me why you're lying
if it didnt hurt to say that
im the fool, its fine
from the way back
but the underside

keep your distance
you won't see i'm already gone
at the surface you cant touch
whats underneath the pond

oh well nevermind
in the recess there i go again
let the fool be blind
some contentment is so hard to find

and i dont want to see
what you've left of me on the underside
and so it goes, the time
from the way back it all seems fine

keep your distance
you wont see i'm already gone
in the darkess we can learn to forget the sun

in between the lines there's nothing to read
there's no one to save cause I no longer bleed
and i'll come up with something to say
to hide my wasting away

you look great
dinners at 8

put a bow on this life
from the way back it looks so nice
but i'm the same inside
in the recess where is my mind

keep it covered let it smother
sleeping dogs must lie
but in the under do you wonder
if i'm still alive

is this a lie?

I want you to know
that i'm happy for you
