Still Waters Run Deep
by The Pond
[Intro]
Still waters whisper in the dark,
Calm disguise, but I feel the spark.
[Verse 1]
Late at night, I hear the sound,
Voices pulling underground.
I wear this silence like a mask,
But truth cuts deep, no need to ask.
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel the pull beneath your feet?
This quiet storm’s not here for peace.
[Chorus]
Still waters run deep, don’t be deceived,
Under the calm, I can barely breathe.
You think I’m fine? I’m barely afloat,
This heart’s a wreck with no rescue boat.
Still waters run deep…
Don’t trust the surface you see.
[Verse 2]
Tried to scream but no one heard,
Swallowed pain in every word.
Fake a smile, light the stage,
Behind the lights, I cage the rage.
[Bridge – Rap/Spoken]
Yeah, I’m the calm before the hurricane,
Smiling with a mouth full of Novocaine.
Cracks in the mask, don’t ask, just know—
The deeper it looks, the harder the blow.
[Breakdown]
(Instrumental – heavy guitars, 808s, screaming FX)
[Pre-Chorus]
You think it’s quiet? That’s the scream,
Buried deep in every dream.
[Chorus]
Still waters run deep, don’t be deceived,
Under the calm, I can barely breathe.
You think I’m fine? I’m barely afloat,
This heart’s a wreck with no rescue boat.
Still waters run deep…
Don’t trust the surface you see.
[Outro]
Still waters… still me…
But you never saw beneath.
