The Surface Lyrics by TylerNess

2017

[Verse 1]
So here I am
I fell down this mountain
I was greeted by a flower
He almost killed me

But then I was
Saved by a goat
Her name was Toriel
Then she showed me to her home

She wanted to keep me
But I said no
I have to go back
To what I call my home

Snowy forest
Surrounded me
Then he joked around
Not again, Sans

[Chorus]
Without killing a monster
How do I get to the surface?
Without changing a part of me
How do I get to the surface?
All my time is wasted
Feeling like my soul's mistaken, oh
So if I'm committing genocide
Maybe I don't want the surface?

[Verse 2]
His brother was wild
And then he saw me
I saw his face, it tried to keep straight
But he couldn't believe
The puzzles all around
Didn't really confuse me

Every time he tried to capture me
It didn't go well

[Chorus]
Without killing a monster
How do I get to the surface?
Without changing a part of me
How do I get to the surface?
All my time is wasted
Feeling like my soul's mistaken, oh
So if I'm committing genocide
Maybe I don't want the surface?

[Bridge]
So I'm committing genocide
Committing genocide, committing genocide
So I'm committing genocide
Committing genocide, committing genocide
So I'm committing genocide
Committing genocide, committing genocide
So I'm committing genocide
Committing genocide, committing genocide

[Chorus]
Without killing a monster
How do I get to the surface?
Without changing a part of me
How do I get to the surface?
All my time is wasted
Feeling like my soul's mistaken, oh
So if I'm committing genocide
Maybe I don't want the surface?

[Outro]
So here I am
I fell down this mountain
