Hide...in your Shell

Hide

in your shell

cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride

What will you gain... making your life a little longer?

Heaven or hell,

was the journey cold that gave you eyes of steel?

Shelter behind

painting your mind

and playing joker

Too frightening to listen to a stranger

Too beautiful to put your pride in danger

You're waiting for someone to understand you

But youve got demons in your closet

And you're screaming out to stop it

Saying life's begun to cheat you

Friends are out to beat you

Grab on to what you scramble for

Dont let the tears linger on inside now

Cos its sure time you gained control

If I can help you, if I can help youIf I can help you, just let me know

Well, let me show you the nearest signpost

To get your heartback and on the road

If I can help you, if I can help youIf I can help you, just let me know.

All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight

What do you need??

a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?

I... as a boy,

I believed the saying the cure for pain was love

How would it be

if you could see

the world through my eyes?

Too frightening- the fires getting colder

Too beautiful- to think you're getting older

You're looking for someone to give an answer.

But what you see is just an illusion

You're surrounded by confusion

Saying lifes begun to cheat you

Friends are out to beat you

Grab on to what you can scramble for...
