Cthere's a shield around us
Cit's invisible & soundless
Am& we drink too much & fuck too soon
Amsmoke cigarettes in rented rooms
Fwe quit our jobs & shoot the moon
                                                     GCFC
& cut our wrists & sleep til noon
Cthere's a shield around us
Cwe're invincible & boundless
Am& we're on the run from I don't know
Amwe're Patty Hearst & Squeaky Fromme
Fasleep on subways far from home
                                                            GCFC
you'd think we'd never seen a comb
Fsent a letter to Mom & Dad
FMom & Dad the money's running outC  
Fgot a letter from Mom & Dad
Fthey didn't send me anything                 C  
Cthere's a shield around us
Cwe are heady we are groundless
Am& we burn our friends & kill their names
Ambuild insecure & petty fames
F& tattoo things that we believe
                                                                  GCFC
stars & skulls & hearts in half-sleeves
Cthere's a shield around us
Ctell me how is it you've found us
Amcause we hide our tracks & watch the ground
Amour footfalls they don't make a sound
Fwe've cursed the names of our hometowns
                                                              GCFC
we're compassless & nowhere bound
Fsent a letter to Mom & Dad
FMom & Dad the money's running outC  
Fgot a letter from Mom & Dad

& we drink too much & fuck too soon

smoke cigarettes in rented rooms

& cut our wrists & sleep til noon

there's a shield around us

we're invincible & boundless

& we're on the run from I don't know

we're Patty Hearst & Squeaky Fromme

asleep on subways far from home

there's a shield around us

tell me how is it you've found us

cause we hide our tracks & watch the ground
