(Verse 1)
The sun beats down on the glassy surface
A quiet hum in a crowded circus
Looks so calm, so bright, so blue
But I know the truth about me and you
A stillness waits beneath the gleam
The broken shards of a fever dream
A silent world where the light can't go
And everything we've lost will grow
(Chorus)
'Cause these are the waters where secrets are kept
Where promises go and the lost have wept
And the darkness is, it holds the key
To everything you hid from me
The lies we told, the words unsaid
Are sinking down with the restless dead
And I can feel it pull me in
To where the secrets and the darkness begin
(Verse 2)
A gentle ripple, a whispered sigh
A ghost of a memory floating by
The water's cold, the current's slow
It pulls you down to what you know
The weight of sorrow, the taste of rust
The broken pieces of our trust
It looks like heaven on the top
But I'm getting lost and I can't stop
(Chorus)
'Cause these are the waters where secrets are kept
Where promises go and the lost have wept
And the darkness is, it holds the key
To everything you hid from me
The lies we told, the words unsaid
Are sinking down with the restless dead
And I can feel it pull me in
To where the secrets and the darkness begin
(Bridge)
The pressure builds, the air gets thin
For all the truths we buried within
I see your face in the murky light
A final struggle in the endless night
The shadows dance on the ocean floor
The things we didn't want anymore
They're all down here, they're waiting still
A heavy silence, a final chill
(Guitar Solo)
(A distorted, underwater-sounding solo with heavy use of reverb and tremolo. The notes are slow and mournful at first, then become more frantic and chaotic before trailing off into a sustained feedback hum.)
(Outro)
Where the darkness is...
Where the darkness is...
It's pulling me down...
It's pulling me down...
These waters...
These secrets...
The darkness is...
(The song ends with the sound of a final, heavy chord, and a low, rumbling bass note that fades out slowly.)
