my shell

born from another death
fed by desire for darkness
i searched you, you found me
now we are united

you're dark but i don't feel your weight
you're light but you strike them with fright

my shell
you surround me
waving and floating through the night
that's around me
my shell


raised by the mother of fear
taught by the father of time
you squeeze me, i fill you
now i am protected

you're thin but you'll keep me warm
you're thick so i won't feel their harm

my shell
you surround me
waving and floating through the night
that's around me
my shell


your darkness will tell
a tale of their hell
my beautiful shell
you frighten them well

you are dead but i can feel you bleed
you're alive thus you're all that i'll ever need

my shell
you surround me
waving and floating through the night
that's around me
my shell
