Sword as Shield Lyrics by Dylee Dee

Silly Star Pants

0

Your insecurities don't have to be mine
Projecting things you hate about yourself on me all the time
The ache that you get
The itch that keeps coming back
I wish you thought a little harder about why it's like that
When you're alone, you're still anxious like the whole world is watching
But I'm right here, getting hit by all the behavior you're botching
Please, don't hurt me anymore
Don't think you think of it that way
But it's selfish all the same, the way you act like it's okay

You don't have to stay like that for life
You can let air in and still be alright
Your sword doesn't have to be default defense
Earth is more than just enemies and friends
You spend every moment locked in your head
Such a tough complex about how you're read
You've stuck to stance and don't care who and how you hurt
Half-convinced that what you've got set up has worked

I'm dying
Ugly breathing
The kind of pain that frames pretty well on a camera or journaled text on page
Dirty enough to be real
Clean enough to be respected
Never spill your guts on purpose, but you'll nod to where the mess is
Your head gets an easy, cool rush when someone far away is shamed
Most whatever can feel good to you when you're not the one blamed
Shield is shaped like a sword
No compassion anymore
No effort developing heart
It's only you that you're for

You don't have to stay like that for life
You can let air in and still be alright
Your sword doesn't have to be default defense
Earth is more than just enemies and friends
You spend every moment locked in your head
Such a tough complex about how you're read
You've stuck to stance and don't care who and how you hurt
Half-convinced that what you've got set up has worked

Another friendship you ruined on impulse
Another struggle your ego has won
Indulging in the same urges year after year
Love you could have loved won't still be here
Observations you've made
Systems you learned
Experiences with only you it concerns
Enriched yourself by yourself
You is all that you'll get
Rotting with ghosts of failed connections you regret

You don't have to stay like that for life
You can let air in and still be alright
Your sword doesn't have to be default defense
Earth is more than just enemies and friends
You spend every moment locked in your head
Such a tough complex about how you're read
You've stuck to stance and don't care who and how you hurt
Half-convinced that what you've got set up has worked
