Synthesized surface conceals the interior
America, land of opportunity, mirages and camouflages
More than usually, speaking loudly
Saying nothing, you

Know what you get when you fuck with the gang
Ship it from cali we rasin' the stakes
Got us a plan and we put it in place
Movin' the pack and it's

on this ship
Only on occasion will you land upon this ship
Yeah we always knew it would be nights like this 
See me falling to you from these heights like

Oh moon
You watch the ships that sail under your sky
I wonder if you're looking down at night
To me like a mother to a child
Oh moon
I wonder if

The captain goes down with his ship
Just save yourself
The captain goes down with his ship
Just save yourself
The captain goes down with his ship

Still trapped in schemes
Of shiny points of a source
Shiny points in this dark
Immensity

Surrounding me 
And my harmed ship
Wandering aimlessly

sailing and tacking displaced the surface,
Larger and smaller waves in the spread of the ocean yearnfully flowing,
The wake of the sea-ship after she

Trying to steady the ship now
Because my life is a rodeo
Focused on stacking the chips now
Do I got time? I'm like sorry, no
I just keep pushing

touched my surface but not my depth
Before you I am full of life
Brewing storms and sinking ships
But you see only waves

The ship that carries me on the darkest of waters
Is now sinking to the bottom of the ocean floor
The waves are getting bigger pulling me under

They knew a different meaning of time 
They lived above the surface 
There they soaked up sun
And talked amongst each other 
About things other people

Chilling the crew to the bones!

Death from the deep!
A mighty beast beneath the waves
Laying waste to any crew who dare to cross its path
Death

When the meaning became to live or die
The oceans grew
The ships have sunk
Beneath the surface is where it all ends
To live or die
We ask ourselves

You're spit-shine surface, left soul-searching
Lying to get by, and I can't hold a candle
To your gemstone eyes

So I'll give you a minute
Hear it tick,

beneath the surface?
And when we finally catch our breath we're hit by another tidal wave
It comes crashing, crashing down on us
Abandon ship we're sinking,

but you are not God
One day we're all gonna fly
Spread out my wings and glide

Glide float
We won't worry no more
Our flight is landing soon
On the ship

You're reading thoughts so perfectly
I don't get how you do that
You make me laugh so easily
I wish I could do that

When my ship sinks you pull it

when its raining outside
In the moonlight
She's a cool night owl
Been awake for days now
Stuck on a roundabout
Just scratching the surface
Wait till

They wove me unbelievable clothes from their blond manes
And then their mistress...

body, Dior with the VLONE
Keep this shit gang so I know of my purpose
Walk in there latest, I float on the surface
Pick all the baddest, ain't worried

my eyes
As the ship rocks, I see the crown
Abandon ship. Now start to drown
Panic. Swim for the shore
Watch the crash sink to the ocean floor
Panic.

Cold invades the bones. The ice in my gin is millennia old, 
netted as it reached the sea's surface. It sits on the bar, clear 
as a mirror, to be

Drive - where the road is foreign
Dive - down to the bottom
Come join me on this
Drive - 'till the wheels come off the rails
Hit the surface

a cycle starts
Uncountable gray, no time no hurry
Burn will vanish away, thousands of years
Of secrets on the widest of surfaces
What was happening out
