[Verse 1]

I live in an eggshell - not as strong as it seems

I protect myself from the world - don't fit in its scheme

My home is unstable - the walls are wearing thin

I break under pressure - but I'm trying to endure within


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Break the shell - and you will regret it

Break the shell - you wish you never did it

Break the shell - you won't like what you see

Break the shell - you won't recognize me


[Chorus]

I can't deny it - I reached my breaking point

I personify it - an eggshell in duress

I can't deny it - I'm at my limit

I identify with - an eggshell in duress


[Verse 2]

Your world around me is cracking my shell

The weight of your problems makes my life hell

Under the pressure from your house of pain

I choose to live in my shell under strain


[Pre-Chorus 2]

I've tried to conform - I've tried it your way

I've tried to conform - live my life day by day

This is my reality - my life is in a shell

This is my heaven - and outside is my hell


[Chorus]

I can't deny it - I reached my breaking point

I personify it - an eggshell in duress

I can't deny it - I'm at my limit

I identify with - an eggshell in duress


[Bridge]

Break the shell

Break the shell


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 1]

I live in an eggshell - not as strong as it seems

I protect myself from the world - don't fit in its scheme

My home is unstable - the walls are wearing thin

I break under pressure - but I'm trying to endure within


[Chorus]

I can't deny it - I reached my breaking point

I personify it - an eggshell in duress

I can't deny it - I'm at my limit

I identify with - an eggshell in duress


[Chorus]

I can't deny it - I reached my breaking point

I personify it - an eggshell in duress

I can't deny it - I'm at my limit

I identify with - an eggshell in duress
