I hate the calm
And yet exude it
Appearing aloof
And yet pulling my hair out
When things appear fine
And I know they aren't
I suppose it's because
"In a quiet pool, the devil dwells."

To this monstrosity
I am ev'rything

I won't receiveth holp
So it shall beest up to me
To just p'rfect

I've never danced
I could never be convinced
Seeing you across this room
Has me doubting that truth

Tell me the truth
Let me live in our lies

Let the flowers
Rest on you
Let the tears fall
All around you
Let the stories be told
Just for you

All that you have to do
Is know there's a barrier
Between you and all of that
Remain still
Let the wood and the dirt
Bathe in your remembrance
