Like Armour

I know you hate the mirrors in this house
But you cannot leave the walls on which they hang
You take them down, replace them all with paintings
And forget about the days when you sang
But people are frightening and people are cruel
Their judging eyes will follow where you go
And though I know right now it might sound hollow
What the hell does anyone else know

You wear your anxiety like armour
Prescription protection from the world
God, it hurts to stay like this
But you are lost and you are lonely girl

You say it's hard to get your body moving
It's much easier to stagnate in your head
You could spend the next 6 months not sleeping
And never want to leave your bed
Work is getting hard and life is getting dull
And you spend all of your time playing a part
You are always eating but never feeling full
No, nothing fills the hole inside your heart

You wear your anxiety like armour
Prescription protection from the world
God, it hurts to stay like this
But you are lost and you are lonely girl

You wear your anxiety like armour
Prescription protection from the world
God, it hurts to stay like this
But you are lost and you are lonely girl
