I can't tell you anything you don't already know

And I'm really not the type to say, "I told you so."

But accidents can always happen, death is always near

So if you drive to hell and back, don't let the devil steer

You may think it's strange that you are living your own death

So before you go under, you'd better take a deep breath

You can only have on shot at life, don't swing and miss

Don't put too much trust in anyone, and remember this

Underneath the surface, it's much worse than it seems

And I can tell you, brother, life ain't just a dream

Underneath the surface, you won't have much to say

And I can tell you, brother, it's cold inside your grave

I could tell you all exactly what you want to hear

You're all gonna live forever, nothing more to fear

But I don't want to live forever, i'll leave that to you

I just want to live until there's nothing else to do

Underneath the surface, buried for eternity

And I hate to think about just how long that could be

Underneath the surface, planted, but you will not grow

No roots, no leaves, no seeds of life. Guess that just goes to show

Underneath the surface, it's much worse than it seems

And I can tell you, brother, life ain't just a dream

Underneath the surface, you won't have much to say

And I can tell you, brother, it's cold inside your grave

Everything you really need is right in front of you

Take a big bite out of life, but don't forget to chew

You can only have one shot at life, don't swing and miss

Don't put too much trust in anyone, and remember this

Underneath the surface, we all go insane
