Covers is a return story about rebuilding after being knocked down and starting again on your own terms. Written by Hollis Mahady
Lyrics
Here in my room back in again
And I’m licking my wounds
and I can’t pretend that I’m not defeated
I played by their rules the rules I was told
But there isn’t a rule book for this many fools
They’ll kick you right down and they’ll spit in your face
and they’ll leave you with nothing
until you retreat to where it’s safe
Hidden in this place
underneath the covers, I am warm and safe
Hidden from it all
Underneath the covers
Don’t have to face the shame
Don’t have to feel this pain
Its where I want to stay
But what choice do you have other then to fight
And let go of these roots that hold you so tight
You claw your way up back on solid ground
Then the darkness comes to kick you back down
And you pray to those gone that they’ll watch over you
And they’ll give you the strength to help you through
But the cancer is here and it’s eating us all
And the winters so close and it’s so damn cold
But here I’m safe
Hidden in this place
Underneath the covers where it’s warm and safe
Hidden from it all
Underneath the covers
don’t have to face the shame
Don’t have to feel this pain
Its where I want to stay
From underneath these covers
We can rise again
We can live again
Cuz we are still human
From underneath the covers
Don’t have to be in pain
Don’t have to be ashamed
And we can live another day
Life is a gift a game we Play
Life is a gift a game we Play
