Aboveground Songtext
von Mia Stegner

I′m down, it's cold and dark here
Hope has been swallowed by fear
It feels like I have lost
Against the thing I′ve fought forever

I guess I'll just give in now
I'll let it chew my skin, how
Am I supposed to remember
When I end up here it′s never

One-way, but someday, it might be
One-way, despite the evidence

That I′ve got roundtrip tickets, and I'll end up back home
Even when I′m stranded in the dark, like it or not, I'm not alone
We have been here before, we know our way around
We′ll try to trust that we will find our way back aboveground

I've been crying all week long and
It′s messing up all my plans
It feels like I have lost
Against the thing I've fought forever


I guess it's just a bad week
I′ll let it chew through my cheek
How am I supposed to remember
When I end up here it′s never

One-way, but someday, it might be
One-way, despite the evidence

That I've got roundtrip tickets, and I′ll end up back home
Even when I'm stranded in the dark, like it or not, I′m not alone
We have been here before, we know our way around
We'll try to trust that we will find our way back aboveground

Oh well, I guess I′ve finally snapped 'cause this feels irreversible
I wonder if my brain was crafted just to be submersible
Oh hell, I guess it's always been this way, the past is blurry
What else to do besides write words that make my loved ones worry
Just understand that underground′s a place I sometimes go, even though
I won′t believe you if you tell me, I hope you know

That I've got roundtrip tickets, and I′ll end up back home
Even when I'm stranded in the dark, like it or not, I′m not alone
We have been here before, we know our way around
We'll try to trust that we will find our way back aboveground
