Under the Surface

Verse 1: Sun decks and ocean breeze, Slides and pools, it's all a tease, Gourmet meals, And ports of call, A Perfect world, but who builds it all? Chorus: Under the surface, what do you see? Hidden truths and reality. Illusions mask what lies below, The cost of dreams we seldom know. Verse 2: Morning prep, the suit and the tie, Perfect fronts, but I ask why? We mask our flaws, And hide our scars, trying to hide, who we truly are. Chorus: Under the surface, what do you see? Hidden truths and reality. Illusions mask what lies below, The cost of dreams we seldom know. Verse 3: Grocery shelves, So bright and so neat, Persuasive labels, but consider deep, Chemicals and hidden costs, it is our health, the illusion exhausts. Chorus: Under the surface, what do you see? Hidden truths and reality. Illusions mask what lies below, The cost of dreams we seldom know. Bridge: Luxury cars, And city lights, TV shows, And sleepless nights, Shiny things, they blind our eyes, Hide the toil, the tears and the lies. Chorus: Under the surface, what do you see? Hidden truths and reality. Illusions mask what lies below, The cost of dreams we seldom know. Outro: So strip away All that polished sheen, And Look beyond What things might seem. Under the surface, The truth will lie, In every dream, There’s a hidden sigh.
