Shannon's line (to cross) and Boris' armor

I always thought

That I would keep blood off my face

But when that thing attacked

I had to act

To cross that line and keep them safe

But if anyone knew

Then all of Hell would rise to war

And who's to say who'd survive the fray?

I might lose the ones that I was killing for

When Shannon was at the creek, she would do whatever it took to keep them safe.

When I saw your face

You made me feel like a stranger in a brand new place

And it felt so good to be understood

But there's so much I wished that I could say

So I

I'll be your armor

Do whatever it takes

I'll make the mistakes

I'll spend my life being your friend

One day, she crosses a line to do so. She was their keeper, and if she wanted to keep being that keeper, she was to make sure no one knew what she did.

I know I

I'll be your keeper (I'll be your armor)

Whatever it takes

I'll make the mistakes (I'll make the mistakes)

Whatever it takes

Now that she's gone, Boris has walked into her footsteps, and has become their armor.
