Hide in Your Shell - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Hide in your shell, 'cause the world is out to bleed you for a ride

What will you gain making your life a little longer?

Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave you eyes of steel?

Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker

Too frightening to listen to a stranger

Too beautiful to put your pride in danger

You're waiting for someone to understand you

[Pre-Chorus]

But you've got demons in your closet (You've got demons in your closet)

And you're screaming out to stop it (And you're screaming out to stop it)

Saying life's begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you

Grab on to what you can scramble for

[Chorus]

Don't let the tears linger on inside now

'Cause it's sure time you gained control

If I can help you, If I can help you

If I can help you, just let me know

Well, let me show you the nearest signpost

To get your heart back and on the road

If I can help you, if I can help you

If I can help you, just let me know

[Verse 2]

All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight

What do you need, a second-hand movie star to tend you?

I, as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love

How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?

Too frightening, the fire's becoming colder

Too beautiful to think you're getting older

You're looking for someone to give an answer

[Pre-Chorus]

But what you see is just illusion (What you see is just illusion)

You're surrounded by confusion (You're surrounded by confusion)

Saying life's begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you

Grab on to what you can scramble for

[Chorus]

Don't let the tears linger on inside now

'Cause it's sure time you gained control

If I can help you, if I can help you

If I can help you, just let me know

Well, let me show you the nearest signpost

To get your heart back and on the road

If I can help you, if I can help you

If I can help you, just let me know

[Bridge]

I wanna know

Ooh, I've got to know

I wanna know you

Well, let me know you

I wanna feel you

Oh, I wanna touch you

Please let me near you, let me near you

Can you hear what I'm sayin'?

Well I'm hopin', I'm dreamin', I'm prayin'

I know what you're thinkin'

See what you're seein'

Never ever let yourself go

Hold yourself down

Why d'ya hold yourself down?

Why don't you listen?

[Outro]

You can trust me (So what you gonna take it to?)

Oh there's a place I know the way to (So what you gonna make it to?)

A place there is no need to (So what's he gonna?)

To feel you (So what's he gonna?)

To feel that you are alone (So what's he gonna do?)

I wanna feel you (So what you gonna take it to?)

I know exactly what you're feelin' (So what you gonna make it to?)

'Cause all your troubles are within you (So what's he gonna?)

So begin to (So what's he gonna?)

See that I'm just bleeding too (So what's he gonna do?)

Oh, love me, love you, loving is the way to (So what you gonna take it to?)

Help me, help you (So what you gonna make it to?)

Why must we be so cool? (So what's he gonna?)

Oh, so cool (So what's he gonna?)

Oh, we're such damn fools (So what's he gonna do?)

So what you gonna make it to?

So what you gonna? So what you gonna?

So what's he gonna do?
