Guarding Shell

Ma belle, can you understand?
My shell is guarding me here where I stand
'Cause in my past there was just no solution

I dwell in my secret land
I have a place in the fortress, so grand
I need to move now with some resolution

Am I on my guard?
Am I afraid to be touched?
'Cause I trust when your life is taking you down

And I try so hard
I will face what I must
I've been lost in my mind and circling around

Oh, in my guarding shell
I haven't fared so well

Ma belle, can you understand?
My shell is guarding me here where I stand
'Cause in my past there was just no solution

I dwell in my secret land
I have a place in the fortress, so grand
I need to move now with some resolution

Can I trust your eyes?
Can you be honest with me?
In the night, someone left me here with a scar

Tell me no more lies
Some day I need to be free
Rest assured, I'll be waiting under a star

Oh, in my guarding shell
(In my guarding shell)
I haven't fared so well
(I haven't fared so well)

Ma belle, can you understand?
My shell is guarding me here where I stand
'Cause in my past there was just no solution

I dwell in my secret land
I have a place in the fortress, so grand
I need to move now with some resolution

Ma belle, can you understand?
My shell is guarding me here where I stand
'Cause in my past there was just no solution

I dwell in my secret land
I have a place in the fortress, so grand
I need to move now with some resolution

Can I trust your eyes?
Can you be honest with me?
In the night, someone left me here with a scar

Tell me no more lies
Some day I need to be free
Rest assured, I'll be waiting under a star
