Shield Your Eyes

This is getting out of hand
You are gutting at the seams again
And pulling at a failing heart that's lost its will to feel

We can start over again
And do some damage to our common sense
But you don't see the failure that is consequence
I'm learning
No

And so you'll shield your eyes, and run for cover
Cause life is on its way
Most of us will have to jump
Without the net you get to help you
Save your status
And the saddest
Thing is you believe
That its on purpose

But oh no
They're not yours
Possessions they don't define your worth
They just show
The shallow
That they're in company

But oh no
It's not yours
That self-appointed righteousness you hold
It just shows
The shallow
That they're in constant company
