Guarding Shell

Lover, can you understand?

My shell is guarding me here where I stand

'Cause in my past there was just no solution

I dwell in my secret land

I have a place in the fortress of ground

I need to move now with some resolution

Am I on my guard?

Am I afraid to be touched?

'Cause I trust when your life is taking you down

And I try so hard

I will face what I must

I've been lost in my mind and circling around

Oh, in my guarding shell

I haven't fared so well

Lover, can you understand?

My shell is guarding me here where I stand

'Cause in my past there was just no solution

I dwell in my secret land

I have a place in the fortress of ground

I need to move now with some resolution

Can I trust your eyes?

Can you be honest with me?

In the night, someone left me here with a scar

Tell me no more lies

Someday I need to be free

Rest assured, I'll be waiting under a star

Oh, in my guarding shell

(In my guarding shell)

I haven't fared so well

(I haven't fared so well)

Lover, can you understand?

My shell is guarding me here where I stand

'Cause in my past there was just no solution

I dwell in my secret land

I have a place in the fortress of ground

I need to move now with some resolution

Lover, can you understand?

My shell is guarding me here where I stand

'Cause in my past there was just no solution

I dwell in my secret land

I have a place in the fortress of ground

I need to move now with some resolution

Can I trust your eyes?

Can you be honest with me?

In the night, someone left me here with a scar

Tell me no more lies

Someday I need to be free

Rest assured, I'll be waiting under a star
