Shell of Me
We would go to local shows in dirty basements of random places
Didn't know anyone but the band and my close friends
And I know that I've got talent
But I could be better
Wish I was better
Why would I want to be up there when it feels so good down here?
And I've been downplaying myself and what I want
To something easier disguised as being smart
But over all these years I lost sight of my dreams
Didn't know that playing it safe would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell
Try to stop myself from reaching further than what's in front of me
Until I don't know myself and what I'm really desiring
Convincing myself and making excuses of why I'll never be good enough
Drown out the voice in my head
Make it a motive instead
And I've been downplaying myself and what I want
To something easier disguised as being smart
But over all these years I lost sight of my dreams
Didn't know that playing it safe would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
I got this sinking feeling this is why you left me
Sitting in my parked car
Swimming in my own heart
Been driven by the fear of
being alone, forgotten at home, of losing control
Been numbing myself to feeling at all
And I've been downplaying myself and what I want
To something easier disguised as being smart
But over all these years I lost sight of my dreams
Didn't know that playing it safe would lead to a shell of me
Didn't know anyone but the band and my close friends
And I know that I've got talent
But I could be better
Wish I was better
Why would I want to be up there when it feels so good down here?
And I've been downplaying myself and what I want
To something easier disguised as being smart
But over all these years I lost sight of my dreams
Didn't know that playing it safe would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell
Try to stop myself from reaching further than what's in front of me
Until I don't know myself and what I'm really desiring
Convincing myself and making excuses of why I'll never be good enough
Drown out the voice in my head
Make it a motive instead
And I've been downplaying myself and what I want
To something easier disguised as being smart
But over all these years I lost sight of my dreams
Didn't know that playing it safe would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
Would lead to a shell of me
I got this sinking feeling this is why you left me
Sitting in my parked car
Swimming in my own heart
Been driven by the fear of
being alone, forgotten at home, of losing control
Been numbing myself to feeling at all
And I've been downplaying myself and what I want
To something easier disguised as being smart
But over all these years I lost sight of my dreams
Didn't know that playing it safe would lead to a shell of me
