Scratching At The Surface

(アルバム： Quarantine Collaborations - 2021)

Why can't I see, why can't I hear?
This wooden box you built of slander won't keep me inside
You look away, you ridicule
How dare you say you know me, you don't even know yourself

Why can't you cope, why can't you heal?
Do you even try to take the time to lick your wounds
I dim the light, I hide my fear
I'm trapped inside your design give me time and you'll be mine

Your keys, my cage
Lower me down to
My grave!

Your mind is stuck in a place so hollow
You think you're heaven but you're ground zero
Just below your halo
Is there even a sign of sorrow

Why can't I live, why can't I breathe?
Bordered in rope and twine I'm framed now show me where to hang
I pull the plug, I disappear
Strung up strung out, I've got another rusted nail for you to drive in

Your keys, my cage
Lower me down to
My grave!

I just don't wanna lay here sinking
I'm underground but my arms are reaching
Your nail, my coffin
You call me dead but it's you who's rotten

Your mind is stuck in a place so hollow
You think you're heaven but you're ground zero
Just below your halo
Is there even a sign of sorrow

If you could open up your eyes
Buried beneath if you could only reach me
If you could see through my disguise
You only seem to be scratching at the surface

I just don't wanna lay here sinking
I'm underground but my arms are reaching
Your nail, my coffin
You call me dead but it's you who's rotten

Your mind is stuck in a place so hollow
You think you're heaven but you're ground zero
Just below your halo
Is there even a sign of sorrow

If you could open up your eyes
Buried beneath if you could only reach me
If you could see through my disguise
You only seem to be scratching at the surface
You only seem to be scratching at the surface
You only seem to be scratching at the surface
