If I could crawl into a shell
Then I wouldn’t mind the weight
Things are heavy enough already

And I hate to think that
The best that I can do is not care at all
And I hate to think that

I don’t care at all
Take a step forwards
Don’t be afraid

Take a step backwards
Don’t be afraid
So go on, so look back

Stuck inside a heavy shell
Try to walk and not be pushed


And the man with no skin
They would not let him in
Would not let him sign up

Because nobody wants to see
A beating heart, or a lung, or a brain
(Hey hey)


Used to get so caught up
Used to get all wrapped up

Now I find myself feeling
Disillusioned and emotionless
Like I’ve been betrayed

This world let me down
In a big way
Now I feel like a dumb ape

Picking at fleas, picking at fleas

And the man with no skin

They would not let him in
Would not let him sign up
Because nobody wants to see a

Beating heart, or a lung, or a brain

It’s hard to walk with broken legs

It gets hard to breathe without lungs
It’s hard to love the world
Without a heart

What else should I cut out?
Where do I start?


And the man with no skin
They would not let him in
Would not let him sign up

Because nobody wants to see a
Beating heart, or a lung, or a brain
It’s time to grow a second skin

To keep the insides in
Because this one is obviously
Not thick enough

It’s time to grow a second skin
To keep the insides in
Or maybe get some armour

And a mask
Or maybe get some armour
And a mask
