Shell Lyrics

Don’t call me
I’m running
From myself
From the bells

I had a level head
Now I’m completely tilted

I’ve been a shell all day
I’ve been in hell all day

Don’t call me up I’m falling down again
Been lying in, lying in a frame of sun

There’s no grand landings
Nothing can underhand me
Or understand me
Don’t call me up when I’m lying to everyone

I’ve been a shell all day
I’ve been in hell all day

Don’t try to wake me, I’ve been sad all my adult life
But I can feel it like the crest of a wave this time
I see a twister like a snake on its side

And suddenly it was there, grey and glinting
What pretty shards of glass, sparkling in the debris

There’s no signpost guiding
No sailboat moored to my shore

No lonesome horse tied and waiting to take me
Here beneath the rocks, the waves are lapping at the walls

I dream I’ll run away
(I dream I’ll run away)
Into a summer’s day
I dream a dream-like place
Then I’m in hell all day

All day
