The Shell Lyrics
Uncovering the lie
Couldn't look you in the eye
Got caught
And every time I thought we'd mend
You'd just fall apart again
It's not your fault
Cause no matter how many seeds
of doubt she plants in me
I drink to numb the pain
Til everything's the same
Was barely there
Climbing up the walls
Wondering if we'll
Be the same
Cause no matter how many seeds
of doubt she plants in me
I know that I will be alright
Buried encased safe inside
Built from pains and fears
That I've collected over years
I knew that I
There's a girl that thinks that she
is in love with me
She believes I
And though I know she's real
Just can't bring myself to feel
anything
Cause no matter how many seeds
of love she plants in me
I know that I'm not - I'm not okay
Nothing can grow in here - suffocates
And I'm truly sorry dear
There's just not much left in here
I'm afraid that I
Couldn't look you in the eye
Got caught
You'd just fall apart again
It's not your fault
of doubt she plants in me
Til everything's the same
Was barely there
Wondering if we'll
Be the same
of doubt she plants in me
Buried encased safe inside
Built from pains and fears
That I've collected over years
I knew that I
is in love with me
She believes I
And though I know she's real
Just can't bring myself to feel
anything
of love she plants in me
Nothing can grow in here - suffocates
And I'm truly sorry dear
There's just not much left in here
I'm afraid that I

Wow.... I'm gobsmacked! Noit until i just read the ltrics to this song did i realise how significant it is to me... Beautiful Song.
I love the imagry in this song. To me it is about hiding in side of yourself. he wont let the girl that is in love with him get close because he has layers and layers of pain and fear that make up his shell. as suchg he doesn't feel anything for her.
