Clam Shell Mind (Indie Mellow)

[Verse 1] Inside my shell it's quiet and cold The ocean whispers secrets untold I’m a pearl lost in a tide of thought Shiny outside but inside I'm caught [Chorus] Clam shell mind oh clam shell mind Closing up tight when the world’s unkind Clam shell mind oh clam shell mind Hiding my heart where no one can find [Verse 2] Waves crash loud but I stay still Saltwater stings yet I feel no thrill Barnacles cling they hold me down I smile wide but inside I drown [Prechorus] Do I let it go or hold it in Can I crack my shell to begin again [Chorus] Clam shell mind oh clam shell mind Closing up tight when the world’s unkind Clam shell mind oh clam shell mind Hiding my heart where no one can find [Bridge] What if I opened up and let them see Would they take the pearl or just leave me be I could sink deeper or I could rise Catch the sunlight before it dies
