Beneath
Beneath this stability of my mind,
Beneath what seems to matter,
Beneath these stolid eyes you'll find,
A girl is about to shatter.
Beneath these walls I've built around me,
Beneath what's proud and never humble,
Beneath this light that seems to surround me,
These walls are about to crumble.
Beneath this devilish smile I wear,
Beneath what's alive and vivid,
Beneath these fiery eyes that stare.
A girl lies small and timid.
Beneath these arrogantly arched brows,
Beneath all bold words spoken,
Beneath this head that never bows,
I am torn and broken.
Beneath it all, this girl has lied,
Beneath it all lays empty dreams,
Beneath it all, deep down inside,
Nothing's what it seems.
