Lyrics

Covered In Cowardice

[Verse 1]

Twisted tongues will place you in their category

Face to face, you’ll hear them tell a different story

Loose lips may sink ships, but honesty’s forever

Eyes of envy try to cut and try to sever

[Pre-Chorus]

Cowards that hide behind their words

Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt

Beware the voice without a face

That’s hidden underneath the…

[Refrain]

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you see them?!

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you hear them?!

Beware the voice without a face

That’s hidden underneath the…

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you see them?!

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you hear them?!

[Chorus]

Cowards that hide behind their words

Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt

Their eyes are blinded by their rage

Beware the voice without a face

[Verse 2]

When you’re insecure, they’ll find the fuel to start a fire

They’re bitter pricks with only hatred to inspire

Level heads prevail, revenge won’t make it better

Trust your instinct like you trust what’s in the mirror

[Pre-Chorus]

Cowards that hide behind their words

Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt

Beware the voice without a face

That’s hidden underneath the…

[Refrain]

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you see them?!

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you hear them?!

Beware the voice without a face

That’s hidden underneath the…

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you see them?!

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you hear them?!

[Chorus]

Cowards that hide behind their words

Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt

Their eyes are blinded by their rage

Beware the voice without a face!

[Refrain]

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you see them?!

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you hear them?!

Beware the voice without a face

That’s hidden underneath the…

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you see them?!

(Covered in cowardice!)

Can’t you hear them?!

[Chorus]

Cowards that hide behind their words

Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt

Their eyes are blinded by their rage

Beware the voice without a face

[Outro]

Voice without a face

Voice without a face

Voice without a - !
