Aly Wojo - Scratch the Surface Lyrics

The forward marching of a steel box
Humming on the sidewalk
Drowning sound as I walk
And I must look mad as they pass me
Staring at the sunbeams
Smiling as they kiss me
My oldest friend, my newest daughter
Soil and water
What more can I give?
And from the roots, there is a longing
March on forth no falling
Victim to a kiss

Scornful body, be my guide
I am not alone tonight
My hair is wet and you're on fire
Spilling guts to kill desire
Have you had enough of me?
Filled you curiosity
Spilled my secrets
Spilled my history
Wish I would've stayed a mystery

Scratch the surface, paint the portrait
Call it like you know it
Distant and unspoken
Beneath the canvas, there's a poem
Written on vellum
See-through like her skin

Stick the needle in my arm
Magic potions, magic scars
Wish that I could tell the truth
Wish that I didn't know you
Before you write me off
As someone who is better off
By herself, you say you miss me
Wish I would've stayed a mystery

The quiet running of the two cats
Playing as I walk past
Moonlight as their warm bath
And I must look mad as they pass me
Staring at the moonbeams
Smiling as they kiss me
The lightest wish, the darkest matter
You really thought you had her
Fit into a box
And as your wish begins to shatter
You'll see it doesn't matter
She'll never give her thoughts

Let me out or let me in
Limbo is a world within
Sleepless nights in crowded cities
Background music, getting pretty
Reveal, reveal yourself
Hide it all to heal yourself
I can't help it if you miss me
Wish I would've stayed a mystery
Wish I would've stayed a mystery
