SCAR THE SURFACE LYRICS

1. Intro

2. Victory When Misery Fails

A true test of our time is to take hold of life
And not give everything up for greed
Coming together as one is a fucking day dream
And like some I just don’t give a shit
Try to take charge where chaos prevails
Is like holding acid in your hands
But you’ll be living the dream once you’ve cut through the shit
And you’ll see it all worked in the end

It’s a sweet victory when misery fails
And the bullshit is stopped in it’s tracks
Lets embrace what we have and live for ourselves
And not mourn what we choose to believe
Make your own choice you can hate if you want
But don’t take you shit out on me
We’ll come together as one against what you want
Because we’re taking this fight to the sun

We’re liars
We’re haters
Deceivers
And killers
We’re fakers
Believers
We’re judges
And Demons
We’re liars
We’re haters
Deceivers
And killers
We’re fakers
Believers
We’re judges
And Demons
DEMONS
DEMONS

A true test of our time is to take hold of life
And not give everything up for greed
We came together as one against what you want
And still I just don’t give a shit
You’ve tried to take charge where chaos prevails
You’ve held the acid in you hands
And you’ve been burnt

If I could care less I would but I don’t know how
You expect me to feel sympathy for someone I don’t give a fuck about
If I could care less I would but I don’t know how
You expect me to feel sympathy for something don’t give a fuck about

3. The Snatch Effect

I’ve been to hell and back.
I’ve been drowning in my shit.
But then I’ve come back smelling of roses.
I’ve been spat at and slapped.
I’ve been punched in the head.
But I always bounce right back again.

Can’t take my breath away from me.
I know it can be so deceiving.
And you!
Can’t take me down so easily.
My life is one that is worth living.
Do you live a life of pain?

You put me down and laugh
To hide the hate you have.
But I’m the one who’s laughing
Because I see right through you lies

Can’t take my breath away from me.
I know it can be so deceiving.
And you!
Can’t take me down so easily.
My life is one that is worth living.
Do you live a life of pain?

You don't get it.
You're not ready.
Not gonna give you anything that you want.
I mean it, I'm not stupid.
It's a side of life you're not ready to take.
I said it, it won't happen.
The same old fucking thing time and time and time again.
You've been the pain in my life.

Oh yeah.

Can’t take my breath away from me.
I know it can be so deceiving.
And you!
Can’t take me down so easily.
My life is one that is worth living.
Do you live a life of pain?
Can’t take my breath away from me.
I know it can be so deceiving. So fucking deceiving.
And you!
Can’t take me down so easily.
My life is one that is worth living.
Do you live a life of pain?

4. Your Delusion, My Hatred

Read between the lines of all the stories we are told as children:
with a mind so young we are naive, easy to mould.
Not a chance to think for yourself. Scooped up in and instant
when you still find things hard to process our life’s impressionable.
Show any sign of expression or individuality,
you will taken aside and be beaten down to size
Seems to my hypocrisy is how the world is run
and if there’s something unexplainable we blame it all on god

Why can’t we just learn to take responsibility for ourselves?

How can life be cheapened
for not choosing a religion?
Does it matter when we have no care at all?
Divided by decisions of a life changing illusion.
A heretic.
Well you can call me what you want.

Take almighty God as an example of a lie.
Who will take the blame for all his wrongs?
And still you call me “evil” for not bowing and obeying,
When all I do is live just how I want.

How can life be cheapened
for not choosing a religion?
Does it matter if we will not bow or fall?
Divided by decisions of a life changing illusion.
A Satanist.
Well you can call me what you want.

What’s left?
No argument will change my mind.
Persistent.
Well can you show me proof of lies?
Abusive.
Why can you not respect my choice
I don’t care what you believe.
Why don’t we go our separate ways?

Respect how I choose to live ‘cause I don’t regret the things I’ve done,
But you still try to force your way of life down my throat, why?

Don’t you think it’s time we took our heads out of the clouds
And did some thinking for ourselves.
For the better I can see this world will change.

How can life be cheapened
for not choosing a religion?
Does it matter when we have no care at all?
Divided by decisions of a life changing illusion.
A humanist.
Well you can call me what you want.
How can life be cheapened
for not choosing a religion?
Does it matter if we will not bow or fall?
Divided by decisions of a life changing illusion.
A Satanist.
Well you can call me what you want.

5. Bleed For Me

Things will change now that I’ve found my solace
Brutal lives show how easy we fade
Bed of nails is what I chose to lay on
The sort of choice you would not want to make
No remorse for all things that have happened
Easier just to blame someone else
Lived in fear of a life of seclusion
Always spent too much time by myself

LIES
Tell me lies
And bleed for me
HATE
Give me hate
And bleed for me

Now I hide from a world that forgot me
Lost between all my rage and my lies
A blank face a I peer into windows
Guess I’m lucky, can’t see the distain
Now I want to sleep
Forever in a dream

TELL ME LIES
And bleed for me
HATE
Give me hate
And bleed for me

Now I’m by myself again
afraid to get back on my own two feet again
too tired to face life again
it’s hard
to reach inside
take a bite
then rip out disgust
through their eyes
that’s drenched in
LIES
LIES
LIES
LIES

6. Pound Of Flesh

And we will rise
From the graves you have dug
You’ve rendered us resigned
You should know
Not to write us off
You’ve just signed up for your demise
TIRED OF HATRED
SICK OF EXCUSES

Weep for the chosen few
Take part in progress
Or stand and shed a tear for those that have been shot down
We’re here but overlooked
We’re making progress
You all will count us out
Until we rise again

Blood tainted fists
Of those who forgot
Our hatred fuels our drive
You should know
Not to turn your back
On what you think is dead and gone
TIRED OF HATRED
SICK OF EXCUSES

Weep for the chosen few
Take part in progress
Or stand and shed a tear for those that have been shot down
We’re here but overlooked
We’re making progress
You all will count us out
Until we rise again

Now it’s time to take our pound of flesh
Make a stand and take back what is ours
Underestimated all our lives
Now it’s time for all of us to RISE

Weep for the chosen few
Take part in progress
Or stand and shed a tear for those that have been shot down
We’re here but overlooked
We’re making progress
You all will count us out
Until we rise again

(Those who we weep for are often forgotten)
Weep for the chosen few
Take part in progress
Or stand and shed a tear for those that have been shot down
(Those who we weep for are often forgotten)
We’re here but overlooked
We’re making progress
You all will count us out
Until we rise again

MY HEART BEATS FOR
MY HEART BLEEDS FOR…
THE OFTEN FORGOTTEN

7. Art Of Defeat

It’s one thing just to hate your life
But you make every moment bitter
Why all the hate towards yourself?
In time all your scars can heal

Why live life with so much regret?
Self pity seldom ever works
You haven’t even got your pride
Defeat is all you’ll ever know

Why is it that you hate yourself?
Think no ones life is just as hard?
Time to wake up and see the world
So drag yourself from your hole

All we look forward to in life
You still find yourself alone
It takes effort just to smile
So defeat is all you’ve known
But it takes effort just to HATE

By now you should have realised
It’s you that drags things down so low
Why do you choose to make your existence so…
PATHETIC
SO USELESS
YOU’RE HELPLESS
BUT YOU WON’T RISE ABOVE IT
DESTRUCTION
OF SELF
YOUR ENDING
YOU’VE STOPPED BELIVING
YOU’RE WEAK
A FAILURE
TO YOURSELF
YOU’RE JUST AFRAID
TO FACE FACTS
ABOUT TRUTH
THAT YOU ARE
A COWARD

All we look forward to in life
You still find yourself alone
It takes effort just to smile
So defeat is all you’ve known
But it takes effort just to hate

Even at your weakest time
Never stop believing
Your division of soul and mind
Can be overcome in time
Pent up aggression
It’s your spiral to self destruction
Don’t let go of your memories
If you want to climb out of your chasm

To see what comes from the start
Of our own life
Regrets make us fall apart
To see what comes from the start
Of our own life
Regrets make us fall apart
Does your chance to be heard
Make no difference?
You will wallow in defeat
That’s all
You give up on yourself
