On the Surface Songtext
von STEMM

She wears her scars on her sleeve
In hopes that someone out there will see
Her life lays out before her
Along with all she could not change
As the days pass she tries to erase
The taste of blood on hollow veins
That haunts her dreams, she wants to scream
But is afraid they′ll go unseen
Emptiness, nothingness
Lifelessness, ripping at her
All this time, a bleeding mind
Forgotten crime, left in her
I can't clean all the wounds from you
All this shame that you put me through
And I can′t pray
I can't pray
I can't clean all the wounds from you
Windows of pain that you put me through
And I can′t pray
I can′t pray


The hopelessness eats at her soul
Falling further from what was told
She closes her eyes one last time
To ensure the weakness finally dies
Emptiness, nothingness
Lifelessness, ripping at her
All this time, a bleeding mind
Forgotten crime, left in her
I can't clean all the wounds from you
All this shame that you put me through
And I can′t pray
I can't pray
I can′t clean all the wounds from you
Windows of pain that you put me through
And I can't pray
I can′t pray
She raises her fists up screaming
Fuck you the world and its hysterical
Emptiness, nothingness
Lifelessness, ripping at her
All this time, a bleeding mind
Forgotten crime, left in her
I can't clean all the wounds from you
All this shame that you put me through
And I can't pray
I can′t pray
I can′t clean all the wounds from you
Windows of pain that you put me through
And I can't pray
I can′t pray
Emptiness, nothingness
Lifelessness, ripping at her
All this time, a bleeding mind
Forgotten crime, left in her
