Nothing Final - Scratching The Surface Lyrics

Everything I hold dear
Slips from my grasp and just disappears
I need to find release
I need you to tame this beast inside of me

When everything's said and done
Will you feel the regret or will I be the only one
I need to find release
I need you to unlock this cage and set me free

I'm screaming out at the top of my lungs
I'm holding back, I'm biting my tongue
I'm clawing out, I'm tearing the flesh
These wounds have punctured me but I can only scratch the surface

Nothing new, it's all the same
We point the finger but who's to blame
I just want to feel serene
I need you to just walk away and let me be

With my metal body and my wires for brains
I've become something you'll never tame
I just want to feel serene
I need you to just tear apart this machine

I'm screaming out at the top of my lungs
I'm holding back, I'm biting my tongue
I'm clawing out, I'm tearing the flesh
These wounds have punctured me but I can only scratch the surface

I can't break through these chains
There's no escape that I can see
Just constant change
As this monster takes control of me

I'm screaming out at the top of my lungs
I'm holding back, I'm biting my tongue
I'm clawing out, I'm tearing the flesh
These wounds have punctured me but I can only scratch the surface

I'm screaming out at the top of my lungs
I'm holding back, I'm biting my tongue
I'm clawing out, I'm tearing the flesh
These wounds have punctured me but I can only scratch the surface
