Can I play a lower card of the lead suit face up to follow suit?

The rulebook states this directly.

No. A face-up card of the lead suit must have a higher number than the lead card to Surpass. A lower card of that suit can only be played face down as a Copy (one action of the lead card), or used as a face-down card to seize initiative. There is no obligation to follow suit at all.
