Guarding Shell

[Verse 1]

Ma belle

Can you understand?

My shell is guarding me here where I stand

'Cause in my past there was just no solution

I dwell in my secret land

I have a place in a fortress, so grand

I need to move now with some resolution

Am I on my guard?

Am I afraid to be touched?

Where's the trust when your life is taking you down

And I try so hard

I will face what I must

I've been lost in my mind, and circling around

Oh, in my guarding shell

I haven't fared so well

[Verse 2]

Ma belle

Can you understand?

My shell is guarding me here wherе I stand

'Cause in my past there was just no solution

I dwеll in my secret land

I have a place in a fortress, so grand

I need to move now with some resolution

Can I trust your eyes?

Can you be honest with me?

In the night someone left me here with a scar

Tell me no more lies

Some day I need to be free

Rest assured I'll be waiting under a star

Oh, in my guarding shell

I haven't fared so well
