Shield

Crowds feel like the woods to me
I get a little lost in the dark
I get a little lost in the dark
You're beautiful and loving me
But I won't leap into your arms
'Cause I can't soften my heart
'Cause when the tape forms on my lips
The chains wrapped around my heart
And when the chains wrapped around my heart
I started to fight super hard for no reason
Do you ever feel like you're fighting an army?
Just breathing, just breathing
Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
There's nobody around you
I'm your ceiling, I have found you
Darling you can lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
There's nobody around you
I'm your ceiling, I have found you
Tell me you gon' lay your weapons
Down
Lay your weapons down
There's nobody around
I'm your ceiling, I have found you
How, how can you tell me
That's what I've got to do?
It's easier to keep my hands in a fist
Than to face the tears as they're falling
This is what I do
This is how I'll make it through
You cannot convince me otherwise
This is how I live, how I survive
Don't you know I'm gonna die if I do that?
I am never gonna run a lonely crawl
I am never gonna make it through it all
If I don't keep my arms up
If I don't keep my guard up
Don't you tell me one more time
Don't you tell me one more time
Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
There's nobody around
I'm your ceiling, I have found you
Darling, you can lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
There's nobody around
I'm your ceiling, I have found you
Tell me you gon' lay your weapons
Down
Lay your weapons down
There's nobody around
I'm your ceiling, I have found you
Listen close, I'll tell you a secret
Nothing can hurt you now
Nothing can hurt you now
Listen close, until you believe it
Nothing can touch you now
Nothing can touch you now
Nothing can touch you now
Now I've got a new heart of glass
But I'm finally safe at last
