Cover My Eyes
Cover my eyes
So I can’t see the tortured
So I won’t see the hungry
or sick
So I don’t see the pain
or the tears
Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
So I can’t hear the screams
So I won’t hear the sobs
or moans
So I don’t hear the breaking bones
or the twisted laughs
Cover my ears
Cover my nose
So I can’t smell the rotting corpses
So I won’t smell the fires
or ashes
So I don’t smell the blood
or the human waste
Cover my nose
Cover my mouth
So I can’t speak my mind
So I won’t hurt
or torment you
So I don’t tear you down
or the world
Cover my mouth
Cover my eyes
So I can’t
won’t
don’t
See what the world has become
See what you’ve become
See what I’ve become
Cover my eyes
