"Cover It Up" was written in 1998, when I was 18 years old. Its one of my earliest songs. Its about not realising your own potential is being masked by others - vampires who steal from your energy source - and claiming that power back to its rightful owner.

Makes no sense what he's been given
Cos he can't see behind his eyes
Take a step towards the shadows
So no-one knows he's ever cried

And we all have to cover it up
And don't ask why
As the wind and rain go (by)
Behind all the people there are lies
And I cannot find my soul

Feels so strange to hear it from you
And I don't know now who I am
Images fly past beside me
And I could be another man

And we all have to cover it up
And don't ask why
As the wind and rain go (by)
Behind all the people there are lies
And I cannot find my soul

Tell me you won't feel the same way
Holding to the past
Throw it out and bring it back in
Just don't be the last

And we all have to cover it up
And don't ask why
As the wind and rain go (by)
Behind all the people there are lies
And I cannot find my soul
