lyrics

Serpents emerge from the sand
Shake grain from scaly hide
In the bustle to breathe, their bodies collide
Spectres rise from the placid surface of the creek
Within the wreckage of these lakes
Are the secrets you seek

Something stirs beneath the surface
In shadows and shrouds, obscures its purpose

Too complex to be lifeless
Too beguiling to look at
Imminently emergent, the rabbit asleep in the hat
Where the long street roars
And matter bends to meaning
Terra firma flows
Do you see your towers leaning

Something stirs beneath the surface
In fallow earth, finds purchase

Do you hear the gentle susurrus
A whispered murmuration
Do you feel your essential tremor
A life of aches in culmination
In time you will unmake yourself as each injury combines
Embrace a dread encroach
Gather your gradual decline

But something stirs beneath the surface
In shadows and shrouds, remains wordless
It writhes and sleeps, escapes attention
In the solace of the soulless, obscures its purpose
