Super Deformed

I'm sorry, but this is called a shield

It's a tool I use to mark the distance between us 'cause I don't know you

And so many times before, even from the other injured parties

I've been stabbed and hit and clawed at, 'cause I don't know

It's easy to when you close your mind off

To try and hurt and control other people

To get what you think you want

Without even realizing what you're doing

That other people are also people

And not dispensers or enablers

And it's not their obligation to please you, at all

I can't imagine a love between two people

That isn't anchored or isn't shackled

That isn't centered around control

I can't imagine a love between two people

That isn't anchored or isn't shackled

That isn't centered around control

I'm sorry, but this is called a shield

I'm sorry if you think that you belong inside my space and I'm being mean

That I'm being cruel by relegating you to a place

Where you can no longer injure me again and again

And if I knew your name, man, I wouldn't hesitate to call this song that

So all your future employers could know exactly where you stand

I'm not afraid, and discussing pain isn't weakness

And being injured isn't weakness, that's just what I'm trying to explain

I can't imagine a love between two people

That isn't anchored or isn't shackled

That isn't centered around control

I can't imagine a love between two people

That isn't anchored or isn't shackled

That isn't centered around control
