Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Living grows 'round us like a skin
To shut away the outer desolation
For if we clearly mocked the furthest deep
We should be dead long years before the grave
But turning about within the homely shell
Of worry, discontent, and narrow joy
We grow and flourish and seldom see the outside dock
That would confound our eyes
[Verse 2]
Some break the shell
I think that there are those who push their fingers through the brittle walls
And tear a hole
And from this cruel slit, stare out across the cinders of the world
With naked eyes
They look both out and in
Knowing themselves and too much else beside
