I dwell in comfort
Stay blind to the inside
As I lay there calmly
My movement shifts to understand

I came up for air but not in time
The road ahead was clear
But not to me

Why am I not one?
Why can't I align?

It likes to shield me
Wants to harm me
I will play along
It strives to shield me
Longs to harm me
I just played along

I had to shield him
It would harm me
What could I have done?
I had to shield him
It would harm me
It had to be done

I sit at the table
Forcing myself to listen
Reclaim all sides of me
To end this fight
I thrive in discomfort
Too often paralyzed, I
Run, deny and hide
Now I can see

The inner child's wandering
Searching for a hand, it's blind
To guide it far away from here
So it can regain its sight

These barricades
Once there to save me
From myself
Break
These walls down
Change
This direction we're heading to
Downfall
Of everything that used to be me

It likes to shield me
Wants to harm me
I will play along
It strives to shield me
Longs to harm me
I just played along
