Covered in Cowardice Lyrics

Twisted tongues will place you in their category,
Face to face you'll hear them tell a different story,
Loose lips may sink ship, but honesty's forever,
Eyes of envy try to cut and try to sever!

Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don't care if feelings will get hurt,
Beware the voice without a face,
That's hidden underneath them...

Covered In Cowardice! Can't you see them?!
Covered In Cowardice! Can't you help them?!
Beware the voice without a face,
That's hidden underneath them.....
Covered In Cowardice! Can't you see me?!
Covered In Cowardice! Can't you help me?!
Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don't care if feelings will get hurt,
Their eyes are blinded by there rage,
Beware the voice without a face...

When your insecure, they'll find a fuel to start a fire,
The bed of pricks with only hatered to inspire,
Level heads pray their revenge will make it better,
Trust your instinct like you trust what's in the mirror!

Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don't care if feelings will get hurt,
Beware the voice without a face,
That's hidden underneath them.....

Covered In Cowardice! Can't you see them?!
Covered In Cowardice! Can't you help them?!
Beware the voice without a face,
That's hidden underneath them.....
Covered In Cowardice! Can't you see me?!
Covered In Cowardice! Can't you help me?!
Cowards that hide behind their words!
Don't care if feelings will get hurt
Their eyes are blinded by there rage
Beware the voice without a face!...

YEAH!!!

Covered In Cowardice! Can't you see them?!
Covered In Cowardice! Can't you help them?!
Beware the voice without a face,
That's hidden underneath them.....
Covered In Cowardice! Can't you see me?!
Covered In Cowardice! Can't you help me?!
Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don't care if feelings will get hurt,
Their eyes are blinded by there rage,
Beware the voice without a face...
A voice without a face...
A voice without a face...
A voice without a...

@ usernames suck, "loose lips sink ships" isn't from a fall out boy song, It's an old sailors saying that means, Ships are attacked because people don't keep their mouths shut and leak information.

This song is about people who hide behind their words so they can be mean and cruel if they want. It can apply to anyone-people on message boards/internet, journalists, editors, things like that. It's about false bravado when there are no repercussions.

I think so, anyways

I completely agree with FlashRiot. False bravado - you nailed it - LOVE that.

and thanks to sins of yesterday for interpreting this.

I agree with FlashRiot - I was about to post something similar. I thought it was about people that post argumentative/hurtful postings on message baords etc, not caring about the harm they cause, hiding behind their username. But they would never say it face-to-face because they are cowards

I think it's about gossiping.

Yeah, tis about those vicious rumours that get spread behind your back because people resent/envy you.

in the song they say "Loose lips may sink ship, but honesty's forever". the lyrics "Loose lips sink ships" are actually from a Fall Out Boy song. anyone know if theres any connection there? a possible fued maybe? or is it just coincidence?

That phrase was actually used in American Propaganda to stop people talking about the goings-on in the country because "You don't know who's a spy!" Here's a pic of the poster! http://tiny.cc/pjo9a

When the say that, I'm pretty sure they just mean that loose lips are someone who can't keep quiet and says something they're not supposed to which "sinks ships" meaning that something is ended by that?

I'm not sure, but as far as I know, there's no connection. Maybe look it up or something if you really want to know.

LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS - A magazine for music lovers (I searched in google) It also says in some site that it means "Unguarded talk may give useful information to the enemy." - An allied slogan used in WW2. Anyway, great song.
