Shelter

I manufacture
 Brick by brick,
 Fueled by fear of consequences,
 A glass wall
 Blind to my fate
 I master the steps
 Decorating the mask with the right forms
 Striving meticulously
 Sculpting my house of cards
 But then you take away my shield
 What if I'm left alone to bleed
 You say I've tangled myself in my web
 All I need to do is be myself
 Sanded the edges Polished the surface
 Dressed up in my chest of
 Pipe dreams, illusion, confusion
 Missing what's going on about
 Terrified of dying of the light
 Neglecting the Oracle inside
 Striving meticulously
 Sculpting my house of cards
 But then you take away my shield
 What if I'm left alone to bleed
 You say I've tangled myself in my web
 All I need to do is be myself
 But then you take away my shield
 What if I'm left alone to bleed
 You say I've tangled myself in my web
 All I need to do is be myself
 But then you take away my shield
 What if I'm left alone to bleed
 You say I've tangled myself in my web
 All I need to do is be myself
 But then you take away my shield
 What if I'm left alone to bleed
 You say I've tangled myself in my web
 All I need to do is be myself
