v1

Pressure, heat, and time
Temper an intemperate mind
Push into form, imprinted with grooves

See it happen, day by day
Losing figure, taking shape

(Form to fit to seal to close to fill the space to plug the hole)
(To bridge the gap to lock it tight to cork the neck to stop the flow)
No man is an island, he's a hardened brick of clay that's been
turned into a soldier, and made to stand his ground

Fit To Form

"Surfer Girl"

It's funny how the start of summertime
Can cause such a shift in paradigm
How such a crazy, mixed-up world
Can turn me into a surfer girl

I'm gunna grab my board
And run myself up to the sea
Surfin' 'cross the waves
I'm shinin', flyin', I am free

Cos I'm a surfer girl, uh-oh (surfer girl)
I'm a surfer girl, uh-oh, uh-oh (surfer girl)
I’m a surfer girl, uh-oh, uh-oh (surfer girl)
I’m a surfer girl (surfer girl)
I’m a surfer girl

A-balanced atop the surfboard I stand
Feelin' like I'm one with the sea and sand
Ridin' up the tide without a hint of shame
All the rollin' waves are callin' my name

My cares are soarin' off
Like the seagulls in the sky
I'm one with the board
In my soul, I think I might cry

Cos I'm a surfer girl, uh-oh (surfer girl)
I'm a surfer girl, uh-oh, uh-oh (surfer girl)
I’m a surfer girl, uh-oh, uh-oh (surfer girl)
I’m a surfer girl (surfer girl)
I’m a surfer girl

SOLO

I'm havin' such a good time on the shore
Wish that I could stay here forever more
I got this happy feelin' deep within my bones
No matter where I am, the board is my home

With the tubular waves
And the wind through my hair
My heart's a tsunami
And my spirit's surfin' through the air

Cos I'm a surfer girl, uh-oh (surfer girl)
I'm a surfer girl, uh-oh, uh-oh (surfer girl)
I’m a surfer girl, uh-oh, uh-oh (surfer girl)
I’m a surfer girl (surfer girl)
I’m a surfer girl

Sufer, surfer, surfer girl
Surfer, surfer, surfer girl
Surfer, surfer, surfer girl
Call me surfer girl

Surfer Girl

Lyrics 
[Verse 1]
I tell you that I refuse
And I black out from the impact
You make it so you can't lose
When I'm choked up and can't fight back
The scars you give me are revealing
The truth that I can't take these beatings
And you're always still lying
while I'm trying and I'm rattled
There's so much more than kneecaps 
and torn shoulders in this battle
It must be nice that I keep needing
I let you in but I'm receding

It's gone on way too long now
And it's fucked up, but I'm stalling
I feel it every day now
There's no leaving when you're calling
It feels out of my hands now
And I don't know how to change it
And I don't know how to hate it, no

[Chorus]
Give me the blame
It's all one with the abuse, my life's receding 
Mournful on my knees for you
You take till I give in, you got me bleeding till I'm blue
So misleading like you do

[Verse 2]
I tell you turns the lights on
You should see just who you're hurting
I close my eyes to pretend
what you're doing's not unnerving
You're trying hard and that's what matters
It's been a war and I'm so battered

You claim this shit's so easy
But I don't know how it happened
All that's left's been worn out, bruises run down
Oh I'm damaged
It feels out of my hands now
And I don't know how to change it
And I don't know how to hate it, no

[Chorus]
Give me the blame
It's all one with the abuse, my life's receding 
Mournful on my knees for you
You take till I give in, you got me bleeding till I'm blue
So misleading 

[Verse 3]
If your gifts of love are my injuries
And you don't feel nothing when you look at me
Tell me why you're making me pay
It doesn't feel right but I'll be okay
If you want to keep taking my breath away
Let me see your eyes before I fade away
If love's got no limits like you say
It's okay to show me pain
It's okay to show me
