Am I the only one who feels like a hermit in a shell,
Keeping to myself and escaping from hell,
Wanting to stay in all I can,
I don't even want to go out if they gave me a hand.
It's easy to misinterpret, I know it's hard to understand.
I feel like I don't belong on this land.
This earth, this here, this atmosphere, this fire, this air, this waters not fair.
How could I trust, the humans here,
scary and cause so much fear, like the devils inside them and bringing him near,
So I stay to myself, like a hermit in its shell, am I the only one who feels this way, I will never tell.
I don't want to leave, I just want to stay, inside my thoughts, every day, I'm safe here, can't run away,
My own lifeguard, here to save the day.
It's easy to misinterpret, it's hard to understand, I kick myself when I fall down then I  give myself a hand.
I need to let down some barriers and knock down some walls,
Energy needs released, can you feel it at all?
