You cover your ears with your small, yet strong, hands,
But still hear her heartbreaking cries
You seal your eyes shut to block out the black shadows,
But still in the darkness you lie
You stuff up your nose so you can’t smell the blood,
But just downstairs the copper smell lingers
You cover up skin; form a shield for yourself,
But can still sense the fear in your fingers
You hold it all in, can survive being numb,
Never give in our let out a scream
Life begins to seem normal, teach yourself to forget,
Until you re-enter your dreams

You cover your ears with your small, yet strong, hands,
But still hear her heartbreaking cries
You seal your eyes shut to block out the black shadows,
But still in the darkness you lie
You stuff up your nose so you can’t smell the blood,
But just downstairs the copper smell lingers
You cover up skin; form a shield for yourself,
But can still sense the fear in your fingers
You hold it all in, can survive being numb,
Never give in our let out a scream
Life begins to seem normal, teach yourself to forget,
Until you re-enter your dreams
