• Shields of every kind
    Hold the secrets that we fear
    To keep our mouths shut or
    To keep people from coming near
    Cruel and cold the truths we hide
    To protect them we'll cheat, scare, and lie
    To keep others from knowing what's on our minds
    It's a darkness everyone has no matter what they try
    To be good, clean, and caring
    It's a mask it doesn't matter why
    The one thing that can't leave our sides
    Follows forever even if you let it go
    It burrows deep
    Unreachable,Untouchable
    Yet controlling to the point it makes you weak
    Living with your secrets
    Hard to do
    I would not do it if I were you
