Broken Shield
Send a light to shine my way
Help me find the path I’m destined to take
All this darkness is getting me down
My comfort seems a mile away
I’m a soldier without a loaded gun
The only way I can survive, is run
And I’m running out of this polluted breath
I’ve called my shots and its ‘bout time I’m done
My wounds are bleeding, though once were healed
I’ve lost my sword and broke my shield
And the man upstairs in laughing at me
I’m just another player on his player’s field
You’ve all walked in, and right back out
You’ve heard me scream and ignored my shout
My voice is gone and my body weak
If only you knew what I was screamin’ about
I’d stab your heart if I had the kind
I’d rip your eyes to turn you blind
I’d throw in your face all that you have mine
I’d hide your soul for no one to find
But I’m stripped bare of any defense
And I’ve lost you all to other friends
And I’ve dug deep for some anger to work with
But I can’t find any, and it makes no sense
Is it because I’m so soft that you hit me so hard?
Because I like to play, that I’m your players card?
Is it because I won’t tell when you bruise me up?
That I’m defenseless that you steal my guard?
I must have made the wrong impression
Let you think I was fine in a deep depression
I smiled only because you asked me too
I’m sick and tired from all this stressin’
And so I’m sorry for not being all that you thought
For not bringing to the table all that you’ve brought
And every night I lay beside my broken shield
Just to remind me of all the battles I’ve fought
