SHELL SHOCKED



SHELL SHOCKED



I’m shell shocked
from my childhood
This is why I’m like I am
Yet I can still feel good



I copped a lot of shrapnel when
I was you I was shooting blanks for years
Now I take my time a
and I still shed some tears



I got a paranoid streak
and at times it’s handy
Although I’m still learning to love
sometimes I still can’t stand me



I’m shell shocked
Its’ traveled to my brain
Sometimes I boarder line
A world where it’s all gone insane
It's all gone insane do do do do do do do
Do do do do do



I’m still here
I stand with no shame
I didn’t let it take my heart I
realize there is no blame



I’m still here, I’m still here
I don’t want to break your heart
I realize you too got pain



Now I’m a rollin’ dice
when I’m in a down mood
But when I’m up do you handle me will you
handle me Being real to you



I’m shell shocked
its’ traveled to my brain
Sometimes I boarder line
A world where it’s all gone insane
It's all gone insane it's all gone insane
do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do



I’m shell shocked
From my life
This is why I’m like I am
But I can still feel good I can still feel good
I can still feel good Even on a bad day
I can still feel good I can still feel good
I can still feel good Much better on a good day



I’m shell shocked
it’s traveled to my brain
Sometimes I boarder line
A world where it’s all gone Insane!!
