I COVER MY EYES

I cover my eyes so you can't see my troubles, my pain, my misery
I cover my eyes so you won't know that getting high is my only goal
I cover my eyes to understand why I put myself through this again
an again.
I cover my eyes to think anew hiding my hopes and dreams from you
I cover my eyes so you will believe
that I will make it through this just wait and see
Cover my eyes with the walls I build
finding my shame all all my guilt.
I will uncover my eyes when I can see
my hopes and dreams come to reality.
