If I could crawl into a shell
Then I wouldnât mind the weight
Things are heavy enough already
And I hate to think that
The best that I can do is not care at all
And I hate to think that
I donât care at all
Take a step forwards
Donât be afraid
Take a step backwards
Donât be afraid
So go on, so look back
Stuck inside a heavy shell
Try to walk and not be pushed
And the man with no skin
They would not let him in
Would not let him sign up
Because nobody wants to see
A beating heart, or a lung, or a brain
(Hey hey)
Used to get so caught up
Used to get all wrapped up
Now I find myself feeling
Disillusioned and emotionless
Like Iâve been betrayed
This world let me down
In a big way
Now I feel like a dumb ape
Picking at fleas, picking at fleas
And the man with no skin
They would not let him in
Would not let him sign up
Because nobody wants to see a
Beating heart, or a lung, or a brain
Itâs hard to walk with broken legs
It gets hard to breathe without lungs
Itâs hard to love the world
Without a heart
What else should I cut out?
Where do I start?
And the man with no skin
They would not let him in
Would not let him sign up
Because nobody wants to see a
Beating heart, or a lung, or a brain
Itâs time to grow a second skin
To keep the insides in
Because this one is obviously
Not thick enough
Itâs time to grow a second skin
To keep the insides in
Or maybe get some armour
And a mask
Or maybe get some armour
And a mask
