Cover Up
Keep the secret that everything is fine
we don't see what we cannot hear
Cover your precious ears
The tears drip down
blending with the blood
Everything goes as it should
We fear for the worst
but we're never prepared
for the things that happen next
in a twisted spiral that is our life
We expect death and woe
Friend turned the foe
But will it ever end?
No one can ever know
because there is nothing that will show
when the hurt will end
If we keep the secret
that everything is fine
Faster seems that the time has passed
We cut away the shame
cry away the pain
Cover up your bruises with beauty cream
