You've never come close to seeing what I've always had to face.

Image blatant and obvious - what's there more to assess?

Never looking beyond the frontal - all your present fears.

I hope to never be caught again by visions too clear.

Erase it, deface it, conceal it.

Just take it for the face value - concealment, nonetheless.

Just take it for the face value - you never know what you may get.

A wise man carried on about what you see is what you get.

I've peeled off covers, revealing what I want to forget.

Why not go base yourself on simple visages?

Scarring the complexion or scratching the surface.
