Beneath The Surface

With childlike certainty
Detached from gravity
Distorting sanity
In the known reality

Distracting faith beside of me
Showing only what I want to see

This pain living in my memory
Beneath the surface of reality
Mere words don’t mean anything to me
Speak of someone strange, unknown to me

The truth that lies withstand
The meaning words can bend
Ignore these facts I can’t
I do not understand

Distracting faith beside of me
Showing only what I want to see

Faith runs thin, a grain of sand
A river without source I am
Like a stream, it all slips through my hands

Distracting faith beside of me
Showing only what I want to see
