Lyrics

Deep Inside a Shell

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You've been walking on a wire

I never took you for a liar

Strain your eyes to meet the road

Another fateful episode

You faked it far too long

You know that you are wrong

You're living deep inside a shell

So hard to breathe but you can't tell

If you begin to choke

You pull a master stroke

You're living deep inside a shell

You've been hanging by a rope

And you can see that there's no hope

Don't be quick to judge my tongue

Sometimes the weak become the strong

You faked it far too long

You know that you are wrong

You're living deep inside a shell

So hard to breathe but you can't tell

If you begin to choke

You pull a master stroke

You're living deep inside a shell

You faked it far too long

You know that you are wrong

You're living deep inside a shell

So hard to breathe but you can't tell

If you begin to choke

You pull a master stroke

You're living deep inside

You're living deep inside

You're living deep inside a shell

You've been hanging by a rope

Hanging by a rope

Hanging by a rope
