Under The Ice

Leave it buried.
Leave it cold.
Some things wake up
when they're told.
Yeahhh.
Feel that.
Don't look down.
Under the ice.
Under the ice.
Something moving.
Under the ice.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
What's waking up
under the ice.
Frozen water.
Frozen sky.
Frozen years stacked mile high.
Nothing moving.
Nothing speaks.
Still something knocking underneath.
Tiny cracks in perfect glass.
Everybody says it'll pass.
Everybody smiles.
Everybody lies.
Nobody looks
where the pressure
hides.
Underneath.
Underneath.
Under the ice.
Under the ice.
Something moving.
Under the ice.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
What's waking up
under the ice.
Feel the floor move.
Half an inch.
Feel the stomach
start to flinch.
Feel the room change shape.
Like something learning
how to wake.
Nobody sees it.
Everybody feels.
Something turning under steel.
Something breathing under stone.
Something older than we've known.
Older.
Older.
Leave it buried.
Leave it cold.
Leave it sleeping.
Leave it old.
Too late.
Drop.
Bounce.
Drop.
Bounce.
Crack.
Drop.
Bounce.
Crack.
Under the ice.
Under the ice.
Something moving.
Under the ice.
Drop.
Bounce.
Drop.
Bounce.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
What's waking up
under the ice.
Headphones shaking.
Low,
end growl.
Whole room moving
with the sound.
Everybody dancing to the beat.
Nobody knows its underneath.
Tiny crack.
Tiny shift.
Whole world moving
inch by inch.
One more drop.
One more bounce.
One more reason
to get out.
Underneath.
Underneath.
Still asleep.
Still asleep.
Underneath.
Underneath.
Not asleep.
Not asleep.
Under the ice.
Under the ice.
Something moving.
Under the ice.
Drop.
Bounce.
Drop.
Bounce.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
What's waking up
under the ice.
What's waking up
under the ice.
What's waking up
under the ice.
Leave it buried.
Too late.
