Soul Shield

I'm sitting in the corner with an iron fist
My knuckles have all turned white
I grit my teeth around my wrist
I am a fierce bull raging tonight
      Slowly I turn colder
And all around me...I rise a soul shield

Everybody wants a piece of me
I can't hold one goddamn thought
Rushing from this to that, you see
Makes me forget the life I once sought
     I know that I get older
And all around me...I rise a soul shield

I used to be foolish and carefree
Like I was feeling love all around
I even thought it could work between you and me
Well that idea is now below ground
I cry on my own shoulder
And all around me...I rise a soul shield
