Perfect Cover - Original Lyrical Song

Things that are hidden, things that are shown.

The lyrics:

Perfect Cover

Ripples on the water / Clouds across the sky
Storms of thoughts rage on like sparrows twisting as they fly
Conceal the reflection / Cover up the blue
Ruffle the perfection, muddle up the point of view

Some animals conceal themselves / Some use camouflage
Some creatures stay so motionless they emulate mirage
Enclosing and protecting / Escaping those who would attack
Careful, heads up, be on guard and always watch your back

Thunder in a rumble / Lightning in a flash
Silence swiftly humbled, darkness brightly lashed
Mist upon the mountain / Fog upon the sea
Both high and low positions standing veiled and unseen

Some folks conceal their weaknesses / Lie, deflect, pretend
Caught up in a fiction they must constantly defend
Naked and exposed / Perfect cover blown
The emperor with no clothes, all his faults and shames are shown

Snow lies on the meadow / Full moon flies in heaven
Trees cut sharp dark shadows as the hoot owl asks his question
Underneath the snow / Springtime lies in wait
For chiaroscuro to uncover and for color to create

Disguises, pretense, masquerades / Putting up a front
Evading bright exposure, anything not to confront
Exactly who we are / When we’re not in our hiding place
Our authentic honest nature, our original face

Silver stars in daytime / Golden sun at night
Concealed in the atmosphere and hidden from our sight
Taking it on faith / That they will reappear
Their perfect cover blown until again they disappear

Headstones in the graveyard / Dirt upon the ground
Shrouding the departed who are now enigma bound
Bones lie still in coffins / Dressed in their best clothes
Just where the rest of them has gone nobody really knows
