To see the wounds that cover me,

things I hide from your eyes that seek;

hold a light up to my arms,

see the white dots and lines just like the stars.

 

To see the wounds that cover me,

things I hide from your eyes that seek;

be careful to speak gently,

I wear sleeves because I'm cowardly.


To see the wounds that cover me,

things I hide from your eyes that seek;

know that this is not a t.v. show,

you can't fix me and wonders behold.

 

To see the wounds that cover me,

things I hide from your eyes that seek;

take a picture, take it twice,

notice my eyes, they have no light.

 

To see the wounds that cover me,

things I hide from your eyes that seek;

hug me tightly as you say,

I promise to love you either way.
