Shell

I don't want to open my eyes again.

Because they will see the tears I've been cryin'.

And they'll ask me what on earth is going on.

But I can't let them know, I'd rather just be gone.

 

(chorus)

The belt and the computer chord

Have no effect on me

Though I tried their exit doors

They won't let me free

 

I've never stepped out so far

If I don't succeed, with I fall?

Sometimes I wish I wasn't here at all

But that ideas about 20 years too late.

(end Chorus)

 

I'm so outgoing normally

Yet I stumble at the thought

Of saying the deepest thing on my mind

When in other things, I can't keep quiet

 

I've cried until my eyes are sore

I'm punched the wall 'til blood dripped on the floor

And I'm told I'm a real 'piece of work'

To want things this way, to say I feel for her

 

(Chorus)

(End Chorus)

 

It's stupid to talk at all

It's selfish to want it this way

But it's better than saying God's a liar, I suppose

 

But how can I judge the calling on my heart

If I do what I think I'm being told, I swear I could fall apart

 

(Chorus)

(End Chorus)

Great lyrics! I like it when lyricists use examples from their lives to write their lyrics, it makes them so much more meaningful.

 

Are you in a band perhaps?

Eh, there's a friend of mine who plays the piano, and he's taken some of my lyrics and put music to it. Other than that, no.
