Hermit Crab Lyrics

I do rather feel as if I'm caving in

As if I have at last made way

For some great frustrated sin

As if despite my better worldly ways

There has been a little crumbling

Of the spine in recent days

Let me crawl

Back into my shell

Let me hide from the world

I know so well

Let me bury my head in the sand

Let me defy the laws of man

Let me take the time

To find what's mine

And in the end

Find myself

As if despite my hopeful dreamy youth

Some ghostly figure has emerged

To suffocate my icon for the truth

It's alright to leave an empty tidy home

To lock the door a final silent time;

But to leave the spirit walking lost alone

Suggests a hint of something left behind

Don't leave me behind

But don't take me with you

Make me part of your affairs

But let me hide from all your stares

Let me feel your warm embrace

But don't let me see your face

Leave me alone

But still love me

Let me crawl

Back into my shell

Let me hide from the world

I know so well

Let me bury my head in the sand

Let me defy the laws of man

Let me take the time

To find what's mine

And in the end

Find myself
