Depth and darkness

This is a song for those that think that there must be something more
a trinket; a charlatan leaves a lingering doubt
a stale breeze echoes through your cobwebbed caverns
There's a depth and a darkness you've never seen.

You wear a watch that you've never seen running
you've not looked 'neath the rug in your dining room
what goes on behind neighbours' closed doors?
There´s a depth and a darkness you´ve never seen.

Beneath the sheen of your social veneer
beneath your manicured nails
are hunger and thirst, greed and hate
tempered only by a thread of guilt
There´s a depth and a darkness you´ve never seen.
