Lyrics:
[Intro]
(Synthesizer pad swells)
(Ethereal vocal sample)
[Verse 1]
Walking the line
So perfectly straight
Every step measured
Sealing my fate
Of looking just fine
While inside I break
Behind the soft smile
A silent mistake
[Chorus]
Under a still surface
The currents run deep
Secrets I bury
While the city sleeps
A quiet implosion
No sound escapes my mouth
Just ripples of chaos
Heading far south
And I'm breathing so slowly
It feels like I stop
Waiting for gravity
To make my world drop
[Verse 2]
See through the windows
A filtered pale light
Shows only the outline
Holding on tight
To the shape that I wear
The skin and the bone
A shell on the shoreline
Utterly alone
[Chorus]
Under a still surface
The currents run deep
Secrets I bury
While the city sleeps
A quiet implosion
No sound escapes my mouth
Just ripples of chaos
Heading far south
And I'm breathing so slowly
It feels like I stop
Waiting for gravity
To make my world drop
[Bridge]
They see the reflection
A calm, easy grace
Don't see the pressure
Building in this place
The weight on my chest now
A whisper, not loud
Lost in the motion
Of the passing crowd
[Instrumental Break]
(Layered synths, subtle pulsing beat, atmospheric textures)
[Chorus]
Under a still surface
The currents run deep
Secrets I bury
While the city sleeps
A quiet implosion
No sound escapes my mouth
Just ripples of chaos
Heading far south
And I'm breathing so slowly
It feels like I stop
Waiting for gravity
To make my world drop
[Outro]
Under the surface...
So still...
(Breathy vocal sounds fade with synths)
So still...
