crack this shell open..
i'll let you read my thoughts, i'll let you see my vaults - you'll see why i'm a ticking bomb..
a clock w/o a watch -
just a vessel waiting to self destruct
a vessel who's been through the roughest corners the world has to offer but he'll still put a smile on to keep others from it.
- you see it
aren't i an angel? do i need saving?
do i say more about the things that complain me? am i a patient that needs to be saved?
these faults you see in me, if you stay you're too brave.
- because others left while i was still trying to understand myself, i won't lie & say i'm surprised,
i felt they stayed longer than i expected them to.
if you look inside, you'll see i'm just a vessel who wants to understand what he's meant to do -
don't ridicule me for my quiet moods.
please excuse me for being antisocial -
crack this shell open & indulge from my vault like pistachios.. don't spit me out -
direct me to a better home.
