take cover 07.22.13


the heaviness is setting in; 
i can feel it on my brain.
i can feel it in my heart. 
there's no place for me to go,
there's nothing for me to do.
it's time to take cover.

i crawl into my bed, 
yet, it follows me there.
it whispers in my ear.
haunts and taunts me until i cry. 
it's time to take cover.

i pull the blankets over my head.
i swallow my tears --
am consumed by fears.
the voices get louder
and i scream.
it's time to take cover.

a day passes and 
the air finally feels at ease.
a lightness fills my soul
and leaves me be.
when will it return?
until then it's time to take cover.
