Shells 가사

When the fight came to an end And bitterness prevailed I found shelter behind a thick shell of silence And to protect myself from the pain I learnt to turn it against you Made it the knife that carried out my form of violence And all that would remain Was the memories so bitter and sweet And the thought of all that could have been I lay awake at night Taking the parade Of the ghosts of all our unborn sons and daughters You cracked me open and took All that was still alive inside And then you threw my empty shell back in the water And all that has remained Was the memories so bitter and sweet And I wonder if you think of me now Lay down, lay down that cross you bear on your back Banish the demons that sit on your neck Don't let them continue to slam their claws deep into your flesh And I know it's not easy for you But not only you feel the pain From the bottom of this hole My hand is reaching out Wishing to touch something with my fingers There is just an empty void And the only sound I hear Is the echo of my silent cry that lingers And nothing will remain But a shell washed up on a shore Bearing witness to a life long lost Lay down, lay down that cross you bear on your back Banish the demons that sit on your neck Don't let them continue to slam their claws deep into your flesh And I know it's not easy for you But not only you feel the pain Empty void Sound I hear Empty void Sound I hear And nothing will remain But a shell washed up on a shore Bearing witness to a life long lost Lay down, lay down that cross you bear on your back Banish the demons that sit on your neck Don't let them continue to slam their claws deep into your flesh And I know it's not easy for you But not only you feel the pain
