Bill Mallonee - Shellshocked lyrics

Say a prayer for me I think I'm worse off than you thought I was I'm increasingly afraid I might hurt the ones I love Ever since I was a kid The skies were always blue So even when the well was dry Your sea was always full Now I cannot hold the joy Whatever device I employ And the techniques I have used Well I'm the only one who's fooled When you're wanting to be something And you get good at pretend Til you're thinking you are someone That you've never really been Are there angels on the waters In this turbulence of thought Hey babe i'm all shellshocked The cut came fast and deep But this will come as no surprise Baby I was always told The hand is quicker than the eye And if radio is waves And waves are like the ocean I'd be drowning in your swells Instead of going through the motions Truth is like a stone And falsehood's always liquid But with eyes so blind and hands so numb You can hardly tell the difference From the part that's on the stage And underneath these lights We are traitors and we're treasonous Hidden just out of your sight You can look into your mirror You can inspect every trace Yeah I may have found my id But I have yet to find a face
