It is frightening up there
Everything is flooded in light
Every ripple gets magnified

And they're all bound
By a strange force
To keep them all
From floating
Sharp edges on everything
To cut and bruise
Blood falls like rain
And leaves evidence
Like permanent shadows
On the ground

Even light is cut up
Shades with razor sharp edges
Divide the surface world
And harbour fear
Of what may lurk
Inside darkness
And underneath

So, I choose to dive
To live below the surface
Where masks dissolve
Where contours are blurred
And gravity doesn't pull
Enough to break the flow
Of liquid dreams

It is dark down here
But it's safe
Light shafts don't get far
Sounds are but muffled cries

Here rules only instinct
Urges to follow primal pulls
Instinct lets me slither
Swim in the dark currents
Fearing nothing
But nets cast from the surface
