Underneath

Among the crumpled tissues white like daisies

Fell like soldiers dead determined, I surrender

CD cases broken in a desperate chance

To find the perfect ballad to move you

Fight with little purpose

Only meaning to scratch the surface

It's not pretty underneath

There among debris find casual in casualty

It's not pretty underneath

A bottle meant for two a glass that's full of legs

But free of any fingerprints from you

A neighbor one time pounding on the wall

Now lulled to sleep by lowered voices is waking

Fight with little purpose

Only meaning to scratch the surface

It's not pretty underneath

There among debris find casual in casualty

It's not pretty underneath

My eyes are on your hands, I'm helpless

When I'm looking at you, be very very careful

Not to crack the seals of last year's arguments

They don't hold a candle to the one this year

A disagreement used to be a speed bump

On a highway going eighty

Fight with little purpose

Only meaning to scratch the surface

It's not pretty underneath

There among debris find casual in casualty

It's not pretty underneath
