Analysis of Covered in Sores
-Covered in Sores
I want bandages all over my body
for all the mental anguish that I fell
So everyone knows I'm hurting
and can see the pain is real
I want a cut for every bad memory
and bleed profusely on the floor
Until my skin looks like a war zone
and my body's covered in sores
I want a scar for every anxiety pill
my mouths been forced to take
So everyone can finally see
my minds about to break
I want bandages all over my body
for this disease you all ignore
Until depressions considered a sickness
my body stays covered in sores
