Shield

When you grow to be someone's sister
 If you can overcome the barriers
 You might find yourselves to be sharing an incredible power
 If you can light up each other
 That's the necessary secret
 If you really do need it
 You can have your own hidden world together
 But let's go back to the beach
 Let's live in a dream
 You can pretend to be you
 I can pretend to be me
 But we don't need to act like we're ourselves
 We don't need to be anything
 I've been thinking wrong forever
 I don't have to be anything
 When my mind is overwhelmed
 When my body won't move
 You've been a shield over me
 I want to be a shield over you
 When my mind shuts down
 In the most unbelievable pain
 You've been a shield over me
 I just want the strength to do the same
 But my body's not me
 It won't hold my shape
 You can't even see my armour
 But it's shimmering like water
 And it's heavy like the ocean
 And yeah it holds me down but
 I still have enough power
 And I can still lift it up on my shoulders
 But my body's not me
 It won't hold my shape
 You can't even see my armour
 But it's shimmering like water
 And it's heavy like the ocean
 And yeah it drags me down but
 I still have enough power
 And I can still lift it up on my shoulders
 When my mind is overwhelmed
 When my body won't move
 You've been a shield over me
 I want to be a shield over you
 When my mind shuts down
 In the most incredible pain
 You've been a shield over me
 I just want the strength to do the same
 But my body's not me
 It won't hold my shape
 I know that I'm something other
 My body's not me
 There's no fucking way this cage can last forever
