Lies won't save you from the bomb that you just dropped
I'm standing shellshocked but I'm still here
And this to you is what I'm saying
All that's false will
Fade away

You run away from what you know will surely come
I will remember everything that you have done
And this to you is what I'm saying
All that's false will
Fade away

I'll say it again because
Who are you
To say to me
That I'm not all right
You don't know it's like
I'm shellshocked
And ripped apart inside
No I'm not all right
You don't know what it's like

Well yeah a change in character is great
And if it's what you need to say
It's probably what I need to hear
But never again in that way

I don't care what I'm doing that turning you off of me
It's my care for pursuing our friendship responsibly
That's why I need to reconstruct what happens subconsciously
So we don't continue to treat our silence so obnoxiously

Lies won't save you from the bomb that you just dropped
I'm standing shellshocked but I'm still here
And this to you is what I'm saying
All that's false will
Fade away

Like a hermit - unfounded
solitary but proud
I was hiding - behind fences
shutting myself out

crossed my arm - disarmed
loss of self-defence
wouldn't fight off - haunting memories
crimes without a sense

closed my eyes - blind folded
images of hell
caught inside a vicious circle

retired in my shell

shut my mouth - lips sealed
there's no need to tell
wouldn't share with you the secret
that could break the spell

shellshocked - no escape from dreaming
shellshocked - there's no escape from dreaming
