Hide in your shell

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
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 getting colder
Too Beautiful- to think you´re getting older
You´re looking for someone to give an answer.
But what you see is just an 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...
... 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
Can you hear what I´m saying?
Well I´m hoping, 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
A place there is need to feel you
Feel that you´re alone
Hear me
I know exactly what you´re feelin´
cos all your troubles are within you
please 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...
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
