Shapes still melt into the snow
Looking down at scattered bones
I used to keep a slender hope
Until they spread above the stone
Until they spread above the stone
I pulled the trigger by mistake
Floundering at the aftermath
Slowly recognize the scale
We will be ephemeral
We will be ephemeral
Fact isn't what you see
Not anymore, then what it used to be
Fact isn't what you see
Not anymore, then what it used to be
Fact isn't what you see
Not what it used to be
I'm flowing like black water
To us, insurgency
To us, insurgency
Looking down at scattered bones
I used to keep a slender hope
Until they spread above the stone
Until they spread above the stone
I pulled the trigger by mistake
Floundering at the aftermath
Slowly recognize the scale
We will be ephemeral
We will be ephemeral
Fact isn't what you see
Not anymore, then what it used to be
Fact isn't what you see
Not anymore, then what it used to be
Fact isn't what you see
Not what it used to be
I'm flowing like black water
To us, insurgency
To us, insurgency

you could be right about the lyrics, it's so hard to tell sometimes :)
but "surgency" is indeed a word. it's a term associated with the Big 5 framework of personality traits - "surgency" specifically being a trait of positive emotional reactivity/affect (put simply, an optimistic, happy outlook).
personally, i hear "into a loss of surgency," based on a definite "s" sound right before "of surgency," or "surging sea" as you hear it.
i mean, it doesn't matter really of course. i'm not here to be right, everyone hears songs in their own way and develops meanings that are personal to them :)
