Perfect Surface Lyrics by The Sheikhs

1998

This could be perfect as long as we stay on the surface
To sink below puts too much pressure on my brain
As the air grows thick I feel nausea licking at my face
And you begin to look like something I could hate
And I look down and see the dark wet parts of me
That I don't understand or even know
And I don't want you to notice
And you're blurred and hard to focus on
And I need some thinner air flow

Perfect Surface
There are no shadows to confuse
And distract me from perception
You look so flat and smooth
Soothing mistruth perfection

This could be perfectly still but already now
The surface has become wrinkled and warped
And I feel our drifting motion on this deep red ocean
And I'm creased as your body contorts
And you're causing waves and suddenly your lines are unclear
And the air is pumping through me like terror's breath
Repaying with lump sum all those little deaths
I'll close my eyes and let the flat black tide fold over me

Perfect Surface
There are no shadows to confuse
And distract me from perception
You look so flat and smooth
Soothing mistruth perfection

Perfect surface
