They see me smile,
say I'm doing fine
But there's a wall behind these eyes
Like praying to a God who never answers back
I'm drowning in the shallow, and tonight
I wear this body like a costume Can't recognize my own reflection
Confession in an empty church Nobody's listening
Under the surface I'm breaking apart Sacred and worthless,
light in the dark
You'll never see me the way that I am Under the surface
Under the surface
They want perfection,
designer grace
But I'm all contradictions,
messy faith Like an angel falling from the sky
Too young to understand,
too old to cry I wear this body like a costume
Can't recognize my own reflection Confession in an empty church
Nobody's listening Under the surface I'm breaking apart
Sacred and worthless,
light in the
dark You'll never see me the way that I am
Under the surface Under the surface
Strip away the armor,
pull apart the seams I'm more than what you see,
more than what
I see
This is my confession,
this is my release
Under the surface I'm breaking apart
Sacred and worthless,
light in the dark
