Shield - Maddi Jane

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
