Out of your shell
we are not human beigns
but we are of the supernatural
having the earthly experience
deceived by our flesh of shell
well, it can be very hard to tell
when we treat the shell like a temple of gold
when we worship the shell like it never gets old
and leave our spirit to a journey untold.
but the truth be told
the soul never dies
so why not come out and open your eyes
why not treat it like a fountain of holy water
your inward material is the one thing that matters
every other thing must come after
unless you commune with your inner mind
your are nothing but a walking dead
open your heart
you've been way over you head
so try coming out
then let's see what happens instead.
