Cover Me

Shake the dust off my heart,

Are you there?

All of me is just acting

Pretending, you must see through

No matter what I am giving

You know me, little to guess

The more or less impressed

This is the best I can try

I feel a pain below the surface

It sees no way out

All in all the need is forgiveness

But its burnt at both ends

I can hear it in your voice

That a lot depends on the truth

On the weight, the things

Bothered pulling the strings

We once spoke with hands lifted up

Awaiting a promise

Your will always listens

But nothing is here that justifies the hate

When I seem so small

All in all don't you see me--

See this, cover me
