Hidden under covers
I can't breathe the air out there
I thought this was how it was to feel
Too much inside I had to throw it back up
Until I was empty, shaking
They ask questions
Try put more voices in my head
But the voices all have cousins
And they multiply in doubt
Why can't it just be easy
I found the one who loves to see my scars
But I'm too afraid to leave the battle field
To hang up my coat and give my all
Didn't you know I kept death in all my pockets?
Seamed up with arrogance and false confidence
I tried so hard to be a warrior but they told me I fall flimsy like a little girl
Crying in the dead of night
My father tells me to get out of my head
And follow my heart
But my head is the driver and I fret my heart stopped peddling so long ago
I'll just stay under the covers
Little girls can't breathe out there
