The Surface of Me lyrics

by

Sage Francis


Oh yeah!

[Verse 1]
A study of history
Reveals an unflagging appeal to mystery
You talk about abstraction
At the top of the list
But you might as well get p*ssed
'Cause in me the essence does not exist
No!

Yeah yeah!

[Verse 2]
You’re so shallow
How can your romance hope to be
The veil of an ersatz human nature
That can pacify but never slept well
When there’s the pretension of living a lie?

[Chorus]
Take me as I am, judge me for my crimes
I can say I’ll behave freely all the time
You can predict what I’ll say, it’s in my DNA
But soon I’ll be a catalogue number anyway
So say a little prayer
Convince yourself that someone cares
All I am is what you see
There is nothing more than the surface of me
There is nothing more than the surface of me!
You know?
Oh yeah!

[Verse 3]
Apologies to Skinner
But I do believe that I feel like I’m a winner
Having just discovered a long solved modal secret
Of how I always feel
So goddamn downtrodden and desperate

[Chorus]
Take me as I am, judge me for my crimes
I can say I’ll behave freely all the time
You can predict what I’ll say, it’s in my DNA
But soon I’ll be a catalogue number anyway
So say a little prayer
Convince yourself that someone cares
All I am is what you see
There is nothing more than the surface of me
There is nothing more than the surface of me!
