Hide In Your Shell Lyrics

Hide in your shell
'Cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or Hell
Was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind, painting your mind and playing joker

Too frightening to listen to a stranger
Too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You're waiting for someone to understand you
But you've got demons in your closet

But you've got demons in your closet
And you're screaming out to stop it
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you scramble for

Don't let the tears linger on inside now
'Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you just let me know

Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heartback and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you just let me know

All through the night
As you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need
A second-hand movie star to tend you?

I as a boy, I believed
The saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be
If you could see the world through my eyes?

Too frightening, the fire's becoming colder
Too beautiful to think you're getting older
You're looking for someone to give an answer
But what you see is just illusion

You're surrounded by confusion

Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for

Don't let the tears linger on inside you
'Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you just let me know

Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heartback and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you just let me know

I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I've got to know
I wanna know you, I wanna know you
Well let me know you
I wanna feel you, I wanna touch you
Please let me near you, let me near you

Can you hear what I'm sayin'?
Well I'm prodding, I'm pleading, I'm prayin'
I know what you're thinkin'
See what you're seein'
Never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why d'ya hold yourself down?

An' why don't you listen? You can trust me
There's a place I know the way to
A place there is no need to, to feel you
To feel that you are alone

Oh please hear me
I know exactly what you're feelin'
'Cos all your troubles are within you
So begin to see that I'm just bleeding to
Love me, love you
Loving is the way to help me help you
Why must we be so cool, oh so cool?
Oh, we're such damn fools
