I Cover My Face

by shenoa   Jan 27, 2005


Something i cant begin to explain
this life i live, only in shame
i cover my face, to keep them away
no one should ever see me this way

I'm sickening inside and out
something you should only dream about
a nightmare escaped, is who i am
my own reflection i can't stand

how i got these scars, i don't know
over the years they seem to grow
my face is masked with bruises and blood
a tell tale mark from the one i loved

my fingers grasp something not there
that love that we had once shared
these night i dealt with his rage
believing that it was only a faze

i cover my face, they can't see
that behind this mask, i wish to be free
I'm disgusting, i should only die
i can never succeed, no matter how i try

i can't stand this pain anymore
it's worse than any time before
i tough it out as best as i can
after he's done, i can barley stand

i uncover my face, to let the world to see
i uncover my face, to show his true identity
but the people just shield their eyes
shaking their heads, believing it's lies

they say i deserve to be this way
that with him i deserve to stay
I'm a monster, theres nothing left for me
i take this knife, to set myself free.
