Under the Surface - Lacuna Coil

Beneath the gloss

There is no escape

You’re looking sharp

But the smile is fake

There’s much more

That hides behind

All your senses are compelled to lie

Solitary warm embrace

That keeps me here confined

Can’t run away

I search for comfort deep inside

And I don’t want to get away

Escape from here

I could be wrong but I don’t care

I’m imprisoned deep

Alone

Living in isolation from the world

Demise

But I feel fine

Everything feels perfect

When you’re spinning lies

Deceiving yourself

But deep under the surface

The battle comes alive

Don’t want to fight

Everything’s collapsing

But you don’t seem to care

Disown

Illusions and emotions are for sale

Life

There is no point

Loneliness won’t let me go

And crawls beneath my skin

It’s moving in

The filtered world I’m living in

Is not as perfect as I think

Don’t want to hear

It all gets old within a week

But I just don’t care

Alone

Living in isolation from the world

Demise

But I feel fine

Everything feels perfect

When you’re spinning lies

Deceiving yourself

But deep under the surface

The battle comes alive

Don’t want to fight

Everything’s collapsing

But you don’t seem to care

Disown

Illusions and emotions are for sale

Life

Beneath the gloss

There is no escape

You’re looking sharp

But the smile is fake

There’s much more

That hides behind

All your senses are compelled to lie

Everything feels perfect

When you’re spinning lies

Deceiving yourself

But deep under the surface

The battle comes alive

Don’t want to fight

Everything’s collapsing

But you don’t seem to care

Disown

Illusions and emotions are for sale

Everything feels perfect

The culprit sleeps inside

But deep under the surface

Your weakness comes alive

Everything’s collapsing

You never stood a chance

So keep on burying your head in the sand

Life

There is no point

There’s much more

That hides behind

All your senses are compelled to lie
