Shell Lyrics by Sarah Lightman

Interlude

2019

I see this girl everyday, a painted smile on her face But when she sees the sun, she doesn’t care

Pretending life is a game, she laughs at nothing to name She doesn’t want to know the pain below

Who is this girl I see inside
I don’t know if she breathes, is she alive I hear her tell me she’s in pain
She just wants it all to go away...
Empty Shell

And when she locks up her pain, she starts to notice an ache A need for love, because she feels alone

But when she tries outside to connect, she’s reminded of her neglect So she runs cause it’s much too bare

Chorus

And she runs, and she runs to take the pain away But it doesn’t work, because it hurts

Who is this girl I see inside
I don’t know if she breathes, is she alive I hear her tell me she’s in pain
She just wants it all to go away...

Oooooooohhhh, oooooooohhh

Empty Shell
