SCAR THE SURFACE LYRICS

1. Satisfy The Thought

Been dragged around through broken dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But nothing ever seem to irritate

The innocents of crazy times
Not shackled by the rules of life
I'm only here to enjoy myself

And now that I am lay to rest
Now piece by piece the puzzles set
And settles times for all to be
Fragmented by the sands of time
What questions lay in fragile minds
Can't twist the words of dead to be

As I heard, it once was said:
I'd rather be alive than dead
So brace yourself for a second coming of the dead

Seen things I thought would never be true
I'm satisfied
It's good to say I haven't wasted my life
I'm satisfied

Breath in new life and watch them rise
To walk the earth in modern times
To live is the greatest thing of all

A wasted life just scar your pride
You've done nothing, you realize?
Time to wake up and enjoy yourself

Since waking from my peaceful of rest
There's no more pieces of puzzle left
I think I know why we are here
Life is too short for drunken brawls
Or wasting it on drugs and whores
My goal is set, so which one of us is laughing now?

Seen things I thought would never be true
I'm satisfied
It's good to say I haven't wasted my life
I'm satisfied

Been said:
Frustration never breaks the mould
I'm satisfied
Been done:
Through all these years I've seen it all
I'm satisfied

Seen things I thought would never be true
I'm satisfied
It's good to say I haven't wasted my life
I'm satisfied

Been said:
Frustration never breaks the mould
I'm satisfied
Been done:
Through all these years I've seen it all
I'm satisfied

2. In Doubt

To see the light so quickly
Go sifting through the sands of a mind
Not finding one shred of kindness
You've led a full and normal...
Life
So sad for us?
The downfall of mankind
Is shifting ever so closer
We are
So useless
Stripped and torn apart
Forever in our doubt

And what we've learned
Withing ourselves
Why not apply
To the real world?
It's in our minds
Why not our hearts?
A reason why we're torn apart?
We are
Too scared to speak
What's in our minds

Will never apply
To the real world
Live on our knees
With a dead heart
The reasons why we are torn apart
Is this the end?
I'll say
What's on my mind
Not scared to live the dream
Not everything's impossible it seems

And now
For the chance
We can see the impossibility
For a change
To the real world
It seems like every time we try...

Stand here
And look disgusted
Secretly wanting to be
Everything that you could never be

And now
For the chance
We can see the impossibility
For a change
To the real world
It seems like every time we try
We fall apart

And now
For the chance
We can see the impossibility
For a change
To the real world
It seems like every time we try
We fall apart

We try
We fall apart

We fall apart, every time we try

3. New America

Maybe you should call us new America

This country will never be the same
Gangs fighting and shooting up the place
On the news every two weeks
Why are we like them?

Starbucks on every corner
More rape, more greed and murder
No one really seems to care
We just turn a blind eye

No more originality
We all follow what's on our T.V.
No room for our free thought
How can they control us?

St. Kilda turning into California
Soon it will consume the whole country
Typical American overkill
Do we dream to follow?

Why do we strive to be America?
-Is this how we live our lives?
Free mind, free thought, why take after them?
- Johnny Howard sees through Bush's eyes
Don't be bold and brutal like America
- Do you really want to live a lie?
It's a shame we live to be America
And this is how we live our lives
We are the new America

Starbucks on every corner
More rape, more greed and murder
No one really seems to care
We just turn a blind eye

No more originality
We all follow what's on our T.V.
Typical American overkill
Do we dream to follow?

Why do we strive to be America?
-Is this how we live our lives?
Free mind, free thought, why take after them?
- Johnny Howard sees through Bush's eyes
Don't be bold and brutal like America
- Do you really want to live a lie?
It's a shame we live to be America
And this is how we live our lives
We are the new America

They still treated us like cast-away criminals
But we still follow to get their protection
And when the terror leaks to our very shores
Do you really think that they will help us?
It's at the drop of a hat that we will put in
It's when they need us, we are always there
But if we pull out to save our country
The American monster will make us bleed

Why do we strive to be America?
-Is this how we live our lives?
Free mind, free thought, why take after them?
- Johnny Howard sees through Bush's eyes
Don't be bold and brutal like America
- Do you really want to live a lie?
It's a shame we live to be America
And this is how we live our lives

We don't wanna be like America

4. Torture Endured

Try and look inside you to see, the face is real
Never take a moment to trust, never to care
Seems like I'm fading away but I'm not sure
It's justified the torture endured,
Right to the end, right to the end

Just – take – one – more look
Watch – it – slip – away

I've tried so hard to find an answer
To sight some wisdom in this strange vision
I've tried so hard, is this the answer?
Can't you see this is not the way it's supposed to be

Now you taste the blood in your mouth, go spit it out
You open your mouth again, my hands on your throat
You suffered through pain for me? Open your eyes
Satisfy my hate with your screams right 'til the end, right to the end

I've tried so hard to find an answer
To sight some wisdom in this strange vision
I've tried so hard, is this the answer?
Can't you see this is not the way it's supposed to be

I've tried so hard to see the point
Now to watch it fall it's like it never was there
I've tried so hard. Can't find the answer?
Can't you see this is not the way it's supposed to be

Take from me
Taste blood. Scream
Take from me
My blood...

I've tried so hard to find an answer
To sight some wisdom in this strange vision
I've tried so hard, is this the answer?
Can't you see this is not the way it's supposed to be

I've tried so hard to see the point
Now to watch it fall it's like it never was there
I've tried so hard. Can't find the answer?
Can't you see this is not the way it's supposed to be

5. The Difference Between War and Murder

The path that one has chosen
Is on the verge of destruction
Then as the pathway changes
Risk is higher. Two face liar
To change the pathway chosen
Brings a new light to the problem
And if we fight the war
It just pushes the burden on ourselves

To kill in a war you're seen as a hero
To kill in cold blood you're a murderer
Can someone please tell me what the difference is?
A death in war is murder too
All that is seen here is just bullshit politics
One hand to count the guilty. 1, 2, 3, 4.

The path that one has chosen
Is on the verge of destruction
Then as the pathway changes
Risk is higher. Two face liar
To change the pathway chosen
Brings a new light to the problem
And if we fight the war
It just pushes the burden on ourselves

Now war is over, you've come back a hero
But still you feel the old compulsions
And now that you can't tell what the difference is
Any dead is good enough for you
And now you're brought to justice by the
Same politics
It's branded you the guilty. Just can't take it

You take your last breath
As you look up to the sky. Now as...
Now as we scream
"It's a fight for power and greed"
Now gone your last breath
See a gray and bleeding sky fading
Deep in the depths of dying
Realising that you're just a pawn
To justify the cause

As we stand here as the guilty
We feed on our victims fear
Take a moment to watch a bleeding sky
To loose faith in the human race
I wonder...

Can we all dream?

Can we decide?
Can we make our own choices?

6. Arsehole

Push to shove
We feel now love
For someone that is different
Shed your skin
A pain within
Judge me not 'cause I'm different
Walk away
We hear you say
Is that because you're scared?
You run away
We're here to stay
Watch you become a martyr

Don't; you; judge; me
Just 'cause we are not the same
You; won't; change; me
You see we don't like trend

Range within
Come mortal sin
How can tattoo's offend?
You're dead inside
Where is the life?
Rigueur mortis has set it
Push to shove
Where is the love
For people unlike you?
Hate inside
Forget your pride
Conforming now is dead

Chains and spikes
- Worn with pride
You think there's something wrong
Tattoo's and heavy piercing's
- Your pristine trend looks down upon

Don't; you; judge; me
Just 'cause we are not the same
You; won't; change; me
You see we don't like trend

Arsehole

You may think there's something wrong with
People unlike you
And so you all look down upon our piercing's
And tattoo's
But we are not the ones who are so plain and insecure
We're not looking for the newer trends you fucking
Fashion whore

7. With Perfection Comes Hypocrisy

Take another look around
Before you fucking criticize
Do you know what expression means?
No words can shape what you are
If you could paint your picture
Would you choose paint by number?
Or pick up lie's instructions
And follow every line?
The one thing on your mind
To keep the same a gender
Don't you know what's like to be scared?
Our fear keeps us alive
It's what keeps us alive
With my hands on your throat
It's time you should listen
Your total lack of trust
Your faith in the system
It's pure ignorance
To live inside the box
A place that seems so hollow
It's what's been missing all along

Now I can't focus
I've tried, I've tried
Stands to reason
We are dead inside

Take another look
You don't know a single thing about me
Shut your fucking mouth
Who the fuck are you to judge me?
You say you're not judgemental
But we're the things you love to hate
For someone that thinks they're perfect
You're just an hypocrite
You're just an hypocrite

And now it seems your true colors show
Afraid to live a life of your own

Now I can't focus
I've tried, I've tried
Stands to reason
We are dead inside
Now I can't stand it
With all the lies
Now I can't focus
I've tried I've tried

I've tried I've tried

I've tried and I've tried and I've tried

You take a step back
From our life and your fate
And the reasons you judge
Are the reasons we hate
And it is your obsession
To follow the rules
Never knowing true freedom
Is breaking the rules
And so you're dead inside
So just swallow your pride
And then try something new
Ask your heart it's desire
Is it so hard to let go?

To release your fear
Live a life of your own
That's the reason we're here
And you're part of a battle
You've already lost
We were put here to learn
Not cover things up
Now it's time to reflect
On a wasted life
Christ you know in the end that we all fucking die
We all fucking die

8. Suffer The Penalty

Why is it alright for you to take
What you need
While we suffer waiting for your
Promises

Why is it you think that
You are above us all?
Take what is so badly needed
When will you suffer the penalty?

Perceptions of mind
You say what is right
But never act on what you say
You take what is mine
You live a free life
Free leisure's that our taxes pay

Why is it you think that
You are above us all?
Take what is so badly needed
When will you suffer the penalty?

A lie for every promise made
No truth in anything you say
Betray the ones who gave you trust
And now it seems that you won't come good on
Anything that you promised us

All that we've seen
It makes us sick
How can you abuse power?
Stabbed in the back
By trusted counsel
All for the gain for themselves

Sold out by slimy and weak politicians
How stupid do we feel now?
Now how can we make all a problems better?
It's not like we can just vote them out
