Casiotone For The Painfully Alone - Young Shields lyrics

There's a shield around us It's invisible & soundless And we drink too much & xxxx too soon Smoke cigarettes in rented rooms We quit our jobs & shoot the moon And cut our wrists & sleep til noon There's a shield around us We're invincible & boundless And we're on the run from I don't know We're Patty Hearst & Squeaky Fromme Asleep on subways far from home You'd think we'd never seen a comb Sent a letter to Mom & Dad Mom & Dad the money's running out Got a letter from Mom & Dad They didn't send me anything There's a shield around us We are heady we are groundless And we burn our friends & k** their names Build insecure & petty fames And tattoo things that we believe Stars & skulls & hearts in half-sleeves There's a shield around us Tell me how is it you've found us 'cause we hide our tracks & watch the ground Our footfalls they don't make a sound We've cursed the names of our hometowns We're compa**-less & nowhere bound Sent a letter to Mom & Dad Mom & Dad the money's running out Got a letter from Mom & Dad I swear to God they don't get me at all
