Slate, black and still. It's for your protection Imitate slate, cold, impersonal rock. Don't let it show The turmoil and chaos reining inside The frantic thoughts, The panicked breathing Be still as glass on the surface Like a rip tide, undetectable. Take a deep breath, And pretend. I can't live like this anymore.

Beneath the surface, I'm drowning
Slate, black and still. It's for your protection Imitate slate, cold, impersonal rock. Don't let it show The turmoil and chaos reining inside The frantic thoughts, The panicked breathing Be still as glass on the surface Like a rip tide, undetectable. Take a deep breath, And pretend. I can't live like this anymore.
