Human Shield

Once I tried to integrate and modernize
Learnt my lines, knew my crimes, cut my ties
Survival was not a priority
(Survival was not a priority)
Did not take me long to realize
I can't take all of your sides
Summoned as a single wound bleeds
More sharks than I could ever feed
Just then I knew
That nothing I do
Will ever change you
Sets of extroverted eyes
Cutting me back down to size
Social-life-support failing
Regenerate another shell to replicate all of this pain
Just then I knew
That nothing I do
Will ever change you
A human shield
A human shield
I never listen to intention, just the sound of the bodies falling
Last time when the shadows surrounded the light
I had to shoot through
My human shield
Just then I knew
That nothing I do
Will ever change you
When will you see
That none of this is me?
It's never easy
