Out Of The Shell

Waiting away

Testing what I know is true

Praying for a break

Not really wanting it to be this way

But knowing that I wouldn't want to change who I am

The man in red told me that he would be watching

Praying for the door to be opened

I went for it knowing that I might not come back again

Out of this shell I will come

Broken and shaken in my form

I did fall down but I know now

That being human is who I am

You broke me and I see the insides of my life

This lie of pride isn't what I hide behind anymore

Honestly I am hiding from many things

I need a brace

I need a chance to rediscover who I am

This face I put over my real skin, I'm putting it away

Tomorrow I take my fears to their grave

The man in red, he understands my pain

He told me this is true; I will not love in vain
