Carapace Lyrics

Well I guess I thought it washed away

In the storm of yesterday

I'd hoped that it would be easier

Now I know

They're always here to stay

In the shadows of the past

I find myself

Looking through pictures

On the bookshelf

There's a crawlspace

Within in my heart

I do not take kindly to my selfish ways

Someday I will

Close my eyes for good

But not today

Somewhere inside

You'll find the will

To fight again

Cos I'm faltering

I've lost my way

Well I guess it's time to find a way

Out from underneath the clay

I won't let it bury me

It will be so hard to not be lead astray

In the headlights of the future

I see myself

Painting a picture

Of my bookshelf

Like a carapace I shield my heart

I will take up arms against our selfish ways

Someday I will

Close my eyes for good

But not today

Somewhere inside

You'll find the will

To fight again

Cos I'm faltering

I've lost my way
