Sit myself up, up, up
It's past noon already,
I look up, up, up,
Ceiling fan in rotation
No reason to get up, up, up
Leave me in hibernation...

I’m a turtle in his shell
Hide and never tell, tell, tell

I hide inside myself
I live inside my past
Inside of this,
Inside of this cell
It looks like strength,
but it’s just a shell
Hide and never tell, tell, tell

People tell me I look happy
I’ve gotten good at faking it,
Like it's an effortless charade,
It isn’t a crowd-less parade

I hide who I am,
You can’t ever see
This is not something,
I wish to be

The shell is a lie
(lie)(lie)(lie)
The shell is a lie

I hide inside myself
I live inside my past
Inside of this,
Inside of this cell
It looks like strength,
but it’s just a shell
Hide and never tell, tell

If I stop hiding, set myself free
Will they fear or love the real me?
