Hide in Your Shell

Hide in your shell, 'cause 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 you 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

You've got demons in your closet (you got demons in your closet)
And you're screaming out to stop it (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
Because 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 heart back 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 now looking for) someone to give an answer

What you see is just illusion (what you see is just illusion)
You're surrounded by confusion (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 now
Because 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 heart back 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 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 saying
Well I'm hopin', I'm dreamin', 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
Why don't you listen, you can trust me
There's a place I know the way to (some one's you know the way to)
A place there is need to feel you (some one's you gonna feel)
Feel that you're alone hear me (some one's you gonna feel)

I know exactly what you're feelin' (some one's you gonna feel)
'Cause all your troubles are within you (some one's you gonna feel)
Please begin to see that I'm just bleeding too, oh oh oh
Love me, love you

Loving is the way to (some one's you gonna feel)
Help me, help you (some one's you gonna feel)
Why must we be so cool, oh so cool (some one's you gonna feel)
Oh, we're such damn fools (some one's you gonna feel)
