im just a knight without the armor and grace
a miscommunicated thought shared with you
come out of hiding when im feeling its okay
take a sword for you somewhere along the way
in my healing worried that its just a flesh wound
but if thats what it has to be then still i think
theres a chance that you would want to notice me
and i'd rather not bleed and find you waiting
now in haste i hurried cleaning the infection
and theres no one within miles of my affection
as im
sitting on my shell and waiting for your word
in the waiting my voice passes thru the walls
and the temperature is dropping on my skin
and the pressure is rising up thru my blood
and i'd rather be back in my hiding spot
and my shell is always calling on my name
i feel like im on a november shore when
im stepping through the doors of victory
and on the party floor i like the corner
but all i really want is to dance with you
and in my feelings i wish to be smiled upon
still im cautous like im walking on coral reefs
even as i see the wood floors below my feet
a hand gets me moving and another pushes
till i trip over the adrenaline flowing
and im back to the corner back out of place
back in my hiding place and im
sitting on my shell and waiting for your word
in the waiting my voice passes thru the walls
and the temperature is dropping on my skin
and the pressure is rising up thru my blood
and i'd rather be back in my hiding spot
and my shell is always calling on my name
and i want to make it forget i exist
and i want to believe you see i exist
and i want to make it forget my name and
i want to forget the spot that my shell lays
