“The Underside” - Caroline in the Garden Smiths Olde Bar 7.29.24

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

[@Carolineinthegarden]

'tell me why' you're lying
if it didnt hurt to say that i'm the fool its fine
from the way back but the underside
keep your distance you wont see i'm already gone
at the surface you can't touch what's underneath the pond
woah
oh well Nevermind
in the recess there i go again
let the fool be blind
some contentment is so hard to find
and i don't 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 darkness we can learn to forget the sun
woah
in between the lines theres 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 in side
in the recess 'Where is my mind'
keep it covered let it smother
sleeping dogs must lie
in the under do you wonder
if i'm still alive
is this alive
and 'i want you to know
that i'm happy for you'
