Behind the Surface

  Cause there’s more behind the surface, more than today meets tomorrow. And when we tell the truth in pieces, we learn how to be articulate.

Things move fast and slow,
But I can see the gaps in the moments.
Every word sounds easy to hold,
Still there’s a weight under what you told.
It’s not the storm, it’s what it hid—
The quiet truth beneath the grin.

There’s more behind the surface,
More than what we see and speak.
If you listen past the noise,
You’ll find the reason why.
Yeah, there’s more behind the surface—
In the silence, in the talk.
In the issues that you can’t solve.
’cause you don’t know -

where to start, how to sort.

I’ve been an influencer, 

glossed and bright,
Turning shadow into a light.
But sometime I feel the pull—
Like something in me wants to-

 be understood.

So tell me what you’re trying not to say,
Let the hidden clues weave the way through.

There’s more behind the surface,
More than what we can understand.
If you listen past the noise,
You’ll find the reason why.
Yeah, there’s more behind the surface—
In the honesty you guard,
In the hope you keep inside
Like a light behind the dark.

We don’t need perfect, we need real,
Need hands that don’t just seal the deal.
If we peel one layer at a time,
We’ll find deeper level of coherence that’s designed
To survive the undertow—
To become a “yes” instead of a “no.”

’Cause there’s more behind the surface,
More than today meets tomorrow
And when we tell the truth in pieces,
We learn how to be articulate.
Yeah, there’s more behind the surface—
Let it out, let it speak out
And the storylines that we were hiding
Finally looks like the phenomenal 

Behind the surface…
We’re not tedious —just get things right .
