Scratch The Surface

Just scratch the surface
Be careful what you seek underneath
It might not be what you want to see
You could suffer the same fate
This could be infectious

Just scratch the surface
But don’t dig too deep
What you find could be ugly
Glimpse the madness
Before it grabs you too

Just scratch the surface
Strap me down tight
This experience might mark you
I am contaminated material
Sterilise me till there’s nothing left

Just scratch the surface
Find the darkness inside
The secret of my abnormality
Lies beneath flesh and bone
Just cut away forget my pain

Just scratch the surface
Reach right down
Feel how vulnerable I really am
This sickness won’t heal
Keep your finger in the wound
