On The Surface

Everything is calm
on the surface
On the surface, everything seems to be going
just fine
The thin rays of the early morning sun dance across the surface
of the water

And she is such a sweet girl
on the surface
On the surface, everything is
alright
She is silent, she is quiet, nothing shows on the surface
of those eyes that mirror her soul

Everyone is feeling fine
on the surface
On the surface, we're all such a bunch
of nice people
We wear our masks and play our games and try to maintain equilibrium
in order to contain the chaos underneath

Now cracks begin to show
in the surface
The surface is shattered, revealing the horrors
it contained
The monsters we truly are become unleashed, chaos reigns, nothing is left
of the lie we tried to be
