lyrics

The Shell I’m Living In

Can’t see the coast
The degradation has been found abroad
What could be done to prevent such disclosing
Lost an ethereal link with protectors
Impatient and confused
The words I’ve asked before now have no use
A consciousness the ancient then had improved
The time has come to make irrevocable preparations

Someday, somehow, scattered but resilient
The farewell to childhood ignorance
Climb up the hill, stones keep falling from dread
It’s not what you’re looking for

I need your presence here, won't you comfort me
A loneliness that fills up
The shell I’m living in
Don’t leave me in the jail, that you’ve constructed for me
A loneliness that fills up
The shell I’m living in

Killing slowly any pretension of going on my own
Seldom is the awake before the sunlight
Shows up and expresses a tough
New spiral of confrontation
It took a while
The misconception has been formed far and wide
The whistle now erupts outside

Someday, somehow, scattered but resilient
The farewell to childhood ignorance
Climb up the hill, stones keep falling from dread
It’s not what you’re looking for

I need your presence here, won't you comfort me
A loneliness that fills up
The shell I’m living in
Don’t leave me in the jail, that you’ve constructed for me
A loneliness that fills up
The shell I’m living in

I need your presence here, won't you comfort me
A loneliness that fills up
The shell I'm living in
Don't leave me in the jail, that you've constructed for me
A loneliness that fills up
The shell I'm living in

Um-hum oh
The shell I'm living in
The shell I'm living
The shell I'm living
The shell I'm living in
