Can't break away...

In my shell,
I know what it is like..
I am what I like..
The whole world is aside..

Inside this shell,
I can't be hurt...
There are no tears, no dirt..
Life is simple, un-absurd..

Can't cast away my shell for you..
I can't run away, I can't follow you..
I can run all I want, but baby,this won't just go away..
I can't break away, even if I want to..

It's funny how this crossroad,
Falls often in my map...
I crossed it once, I crossed it twice,
And too soon,it has tumbled back on my lap...

I fell once,
I fell twice..
And God help me, but to that same trap,
I did fall thrice..

And it was on that first fall,
That I make myself this shell..
It helped me on the second,
It will help me in all the rest..

How do I let go now,
Of a thing that is so true..
So, I can't break away,
Even if I want to..
