Lyrics
[Verse]
I carry my house on my back
A shell for my thoughts
A place to unpack
But the tide keeps pulling
Pulling me out
To waters of doubt
To waves of doubt
[Chorus]
I’m just a shell
A shell of myself
Hiding from the world
From everyone else
Oh
The ocean's wide
It whispers my name
But I stay in my shell
I stay the same
[Verse 2]
The sand shifts beneath my tired feet
I chase the horizon
But it’s bittersweet
The seagulls laugh like they know my pain
As I drift away
As I drift again
[Prechorus]
The moon calls softly
Pulls me tight
But I can’t escape this endless night
[Chorus]
I’m just a shell
A shell of myself
Hiding from the world
From everyone else
Oh
The ocean's wide
It whispers my name
But I stay in my shell
I stay the same
[Bridge]
If I crack
Will I crumble?
If I break
Will I be free?
Or will the ocean swallow
What’s left of me?
