Following the single “Better Off”, Mogli the Iceburg covers a lyrically darker song from Christian rock band Skillet, “Open Wounds”, off of their 2003 album Collide.
This is not the first time Jacob has covered a heavy rock song. Back on his Sad People Make Dope Music, he covered Underøath’s song “...
[Verse 1]
In the dark with the music on
Wishing I was somewhere else
Taking all your anger out on me (somebody help)
I would rather rot alone
Than spend a minute with you
I'm gone, I'm gone
[Pre-Chorus]
And you can't stop me from falling apart
Cause my self-destruction is all your fault
[Chorus]
How could you, how could you
How could you hate me?
When all I ever wanted to be was you?
How could you, how could you, how could you love me?
When all you ever gave me were open wounds?
Open wounds
[Verse 2]
Downstairs the enemy sleeps
Leaving the TV on
Watching all the dreams we had turn into static
Doesn't matter what I do
Nothing's gonna change
I'm never good enough
[Pre-Chorus]
And you can't stop me from falling apart
Cause my self-destruction is all your fault!
[Chorus]
How could you, how could you
How could you hate me?
When all I ever wanted to be was you?
How could you, how could you, how could you love me?
When all you ever gave me were open wounds?
[Bridge]
Tell me why you broke me down and
Betrayed my trust in you I'm not giving up
Giving in when will this war end?
When will it end?
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't stop me from falling apart
You can't stop me from falling apart
You can't stop me from falling apart
Cause my self-destruction is all your fault
[Chorus]
How could you, how could you
How could you hate me?
When all I ever wanted to be was you?
How could you, how could you, how could you love me?
When all you ever gave me were open wounds?
How could you, how could you
How could you, how could you
All I ever wanted to be was you
All you ever gave me were open wounds!
Open Wounds was written by John Cooper & Kevin Kadish.
