Shell - Matt Hammitt

Tell me why I can’t get

Settled in my own skin

Tell me why I don’t fit in

Just like the other kids always did

Tell me why I don’t possess

More of that natural confidence

I see the brave

I see the tall

Next to those giants, I’m so small

Why do I fight so hard

To find myself

Oh, why do I fight so hard

To say it is well

Under this shell

Under this shell

I wish I didn’t wear my heart

Out where the world can scar

What I have left

Lost in my head

Feel like a falling star

Why do I fight so hard

To find myself

Oh, why do I fight so hard

To say it is well

Under this shell

Under this shell

I’m so tired

I just don’t know why

All my burdens

Never seem to feel light

When my shadows

Start to come alive

Why can’t I, where is my

When can I, why oh why

Why do I fight so hard

To find myself

Oh, underneath it all

Why do I fight so hard

To say it is well

Well with my soul

I wanna know

Why, oh why, oh why

You give and you take

So I let go
