I've got these lines that tell my story
Etched in skin a tale of pain and glory
But I hide them all beneath a mask I wear
A fragile smile pretending not to care
But underneath there's a storm that rages
A battle fought on empty pages
And though I try to keep it all at bay
The scars remain won't fade away
Cover up the bloody scars
Hide the pain that's torn apart
Keep it locked inside don't let them see
The broken soul that's lost in me
Cover up cover up the marks that bleed
Paint a picture of the life I need
But the truth remains behind closed doors
I'm just covering up these bloody scars
I paint my face a canvas of deception
(Deception)
Pretend I'm whole erase the imperfection
(Imperfection)
But in the dark when no one's near
I trace the wounds confront my fear
The mirror shows a different view
A broken heart a soul unglued
But in the light I play my part
Conceal the cracks within my heart
Cover up the bloody scars
Hide the pain that's torn apart
Keep it locked inside don't let them see
The broken soul that's lost in me
Cover up cover up the marks that bleed
Paint a picture of the life I need
But the truth remains behind closed doors
I'm just covering up these bloody scars
And when the night falls and I'm all alone
The truth comes out the mask is gone
But when the sun rises I start again
A new disguise to hide the pain
Cover up the bloody scars
Hide the pain that's torn apart
Keep it locked inside don't let them see
The broken soul that's lost in me
Cover up cover up the marks that bleed
Paint a picture of the life I need
But the truth remains behind closed doors
I'm just covering up these bloody scars
Yeah the truth remains behind closed doors
I'm just covering up these bloody scars
