The Atrium

Peeling Skin

                                                                         I may look like damaged goods

Dragged through the mud and dirt

I may look like I came out of the woods

But I am not here to hurt

simple conversation to just start

Making you smile, making you laugh

Sparking a flutter in your heart

In need of a cardiograph

I just don't want my shell anymore

Don't know what these chains are for

Break them and drop them to the floor

I know life has more in store

I just don't want my shell anymore

I may look like I'm out of my mind

Out of the League and the ballgame

But give me the chance if you find the time

Torn open and without shame

Leaping into faith and unknown

I am blind but driven to something

All windows and door are blown

And the cold wind is blowing

I just don't want my shell anymore

Don't know what these chains are for

break them and drop them to the floor

I know life has more in store

  I just don't want my shell anymore  

And I don't even know

I don't even know

What everyone sees

And never got the memo

Never got the memo

What you see
