You're Only Scratching the Surface

I'm not here to tell you
The things you've heard before
To be another broken record that you just ignore

You seem to be addicted
To a pain that's self inflicted
You think that you have found a cure
But you've found another sickess

Some part of you is reaching out
From the deepest depths of you
The neglected side of life
Is trying to give you a clue

When will you begin to see
The knife is not your friend
Try to penetrate the dark
The scars run deeper than your skin

There is a deeper part of you
That serves a special purpose
You cannot reach the truth within
If you only scratch the surface
