[Verse 1]
What looks clear from above
Might just be water, yeah
You drink the mirror, not the river
You chase the shimmer, not the sender
Most people praise the frame
Forget to step inside
They crown the shell, they quote the slogan
Never touch the quiet tide
Surface dancing feels safe
All flash, no faith
You spin on glass, afraid it’ll break
Scared of what the cracks might say
[Chorus]
You love the glitter of the image
But you’re starving for the meaning
Surface dancing, surface dancing
Never learn what you’re feeling
Follow the soul’s light, not the lens
Let it burn your old reflection
If it’s real it won’t pretend
If it’s real it kills the fiction
[Verse 2]
Scroll through halos and masks
Every smile, a script
Every caption, half confession
Every angle, half eclipse
You call that peace, but it’s panic
You call that “fine”, but it’s static
All that polish on your panic
Till the hurt looks cinematic
I had to fall through the frame
Let the glossy world go gray
Touch the bruise, taste the blame
Till the colors learned my name
[Chorus]
You love the glitter of the image
But you’re starving for the meaning
Surface dancing, surface dancing
Never learn what you’re feeling
Follow the soul’s light, not the lens
Let it burn your old reflection
If it’s real it won’t pretend
If it’s real it kills the fiction
[Bridge]
Step off the glass, off the floor (hey)
Feel how the silence roars
All that you hid in the corners
Comes crowding the door
Let it all rise, don’t run
Let it all sting, then stun
That’s not the end, that’s the entrance
That’s the start of being one
[Chorus]
You love the glitter of the image
But you’re starving for the meaning
Surface dancing, surface dancing
Never learn what you’re feeling
Follow the soul’s light, not the lens
Let it burn your old reflection
If it’s real it won’t pretend
If it’s real it kills the fiction
