Up to the Surface

I came up to the surface
Released the air
With no words to remember
What happened there
I saw life in the shadows
On foreign lines
I knew peace in the terror
There was a night of war away
A row of islands all ablaze
The sun circled 'round the end
In darkness I've evolved again
Alone in the city, we're here on land
Cold eyes all around me where I stand
A frozen planet, how could love remain?
You left me alone
Came up to the surface
Released the air
With no words to remember
What happened there
I saw life in the shadows
On foreign lines
I knew peace in the terror
Of the mind
