~Shield~

you got
the angles
and the
saints
come on
drive me wild
heart that
beat together

lets just
go with
the connection
you're only
brave in
isolated moonlight

I'm here
without a
shield but I can't
go back
I feel
lonely enough

now you
don't know
the sadness
of this place
don't even
know
what I'm still
fighting for

so give
me back
my sanity
in this
place of
imaginary grace
but it's
getting better

tangled up
in this
disconnected mat
that I
thought was
supposed to
cover me

to pave
the way
stay strong
when nothing's right
you stay
on my mind
slows sown
time like
walking though
a watery
dream
