They built an ocean with a gate
Painted teeth to sell the bait
Skis cut ribbons through the foam
Black shape makes the park its home
Dolphins know before the signs
Dead men sink beneath the shine
Suits keep smiling for the tape
Water keeps what won’t escape
Pretty lights (perfect sheen)
Pressure climbs
Behind the scene
Depth perception
You only saw the show
Glass is just a thin suggestion
When there’s terror down below
You put a window in the deep
You sold a monster as a show
Now the outcome’s looking bleak
And there’s nowhere left to go
Baby kept, display lights on
Claps distract but something’s wrong
Small white teeth in sponsor glow
Hungry mother down below
Jaws bite the bumper-boat ride
Plastic ocean, nowhere to hide
Park keeps laughing through the feed
Till the shallow end starts to bleed
Pretty lights (perfect sheen)
Pressure climbs
Underneath
Depth perception
You only saw the show
Glass is just a thin suggestion
When there’s terror down below
You put a window in the deep
You sold a monster as a show
Now the outcome’s looking bleak
And there’s nowhere left to go
Families float where the brochures lied
Glass in their lungs and blood in the lights
The control room cracks like a viewing screen
And the mouth comes forward like a killing machine
Depth perception
You only saw the show
Glass is just a thin suggestion
When there’s terror down below
You put a window in the deep
You sold a monster as a show
Now the outcome’s looking bleak
And there’s nowhere left to go
