Scratch

These words are in my face
Its over now
Its over now
This faceless son of a switch
Its up and down
It jumps around
One time that I can't lie
Afraid of you
And what to do
One stops before they try
Like you and I
Like you and I
One dies without a trace
Its often now
Its often now
These worries aren't escapes
They loose their town
They loosen down
No one wants to be faced
With who's inside
With what is I
Lost in the field of grace
Your less than I
Your less than I
Oh
We mean to scratch the surface now
Tend to be unreasonable
Good time will I never
Its never a will to be evil
No love in the hall of the steaks
Just think of that
Ahh speak to that
Mine was the fish to a steak
The fix all day?
The fix all day
By loosening a game
Brings them on up
Is closely but
This life in the mirror of shame
Is closing down
Were closer now
No sorrow to build the flame
We built you hell
Ahh were not so well
He walks to his school with a chase
We sat him down
We turned him round
His light was empty space
His thought was down
His thought was down
No thoughts from the light to the shade
Have tons of fame
We everyday
We mean to scratch the surface now
Tend to be unreasonable
Good time will I never
Its never a will to be evil
You can't taste someone else's taste
That's what we do
What were used to
Undone with unnecessary
Its all around
Its up to down
We rarely get confused
But when we do
We really do
I like to sing this song
Alone and on
And on and on
Oh
We mean to scratch the surface now
Tend to be unreasonable
Good time will I never
Its never a will to be evil
We mean to scratch the surface now
Tend to be unreasonable
Good time will I never
Its never a will to be evil
