Shell Lyrics

So take me back to a time and place

When I could stand to see the image of my goddamn face

A monument to better days

When all things still had colour and these eyes

And these eyes, they seemed to favour

My body entwines with lines of life

That hold no weight pull these strings

These threads of choice that have left me in pieces

The fibres grasp, suffocating, drawing in life

The grey and black that flakes from your skin

Painted like ash and flutters in the wind

Let me reach in and pull out life

The source of your pulse, a weapon of my choice

My body entwines with lines of life

That hold no weight pull my strings

Your soul has defined its existence

But it is I who holds the trigger

I've dawned this crown made of guilt and lies

A sinful halo that burns my mind

So take me back to a place

So take me back to a time and place

When I could stand to see the image of your goddamn face

Goddamn face, fucking waste

That I let myself drown neck deep into
