Carapace

Well I guess I thought it washed away
In the storm of yesterday
I'd hoped that it would be easier
Now I know
They're always here to stay

In the shadows of the past
I find myself
Looking through pictures
On the bookshelf
There's a crawlspace
Within in my heart
I do not take kindly to my selfish ways

Someday I will
Close my eyes for good
But not today
Somewhere inside
You'll find the will
To fight again

Cos I'm faltering
I've lost my way

Well I guess it's time to find a way
Out from underneath the clay
I won't let it bury me
It will be so hard to not be lead astray

In the headlights of the future
I see myself
Painting a picture
Of my bookshelf
Like a carapace I shield my heart
I will take up arms against our selfish ways

Someday I will
Close my eyes for good
But not today
Somewhere inside
You'll find the will
To fight again

Cos I'm faltering
I've lost my way
