lyrics

In The Beginning (The Shield)

This is to catch the storm in the palm of my hand
that has blown over us from the beginning
and to shield you from it
so we can dance unharmed
and this is to tell the clear blue sky

(chorus)
I'll try to understand the shield
as no one has before, or will
and someday when we're frozen still
we can still weep rain. x2

This is as much a hope as it is a touch
hope the pain don't mean too much
because that's all the wind seems to take us through is anger and such
and the bottom scraped dry
and I look you in the eye
and tell you I always wanted you

(chorus)
shooting star hits the ground
you'll be a nobody with a scene in your house
spitting everything that you took
everything that was pain

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
