"Beneath The Surface" lyrics

Degrade me, my purpose
Bury me beneath the surface
I'm scratching, I'm clawing
Trying hard to make them pay

Can't stand me, beside me
Kid you not, your kiss sure killed me
The cold of my barrel
Never sees the light of day

Call me, call me
You could only hurt the story
Call me, call me
I'll be there to shine a light

The smell on the speakers
Sweaty ballroom dancing fever
They gather in numbers
Ever for a closer view

The ceasefire, the weaker
Hair so red, I couldn't keep her
The dogs hound the neighbors
Everything was blown away

Call me, call me
You could only hurt the story
Call me, call me
I'll be there to shine a light

Machine, machines
Point me to the nearest party
You'll see, you'll see
Baby, it's the only way

Call me, call me
You could only—
Call me, call me
I'll be there—
Machines, machines
Point me to the nearest party
