Lyrics: Eggshell
Album: III: Odyssey of the Mind, Vol. 3
Artist: Die Krupps
 

I live in an eggshell – not as strong as it seems
I protect myself from the world – I don’t fit in this scheme
my home is unstable the walls are wearing thin
I break under pressure – but I’m trying to endure within

Break the shell – and you will regret it
Break the shell – you wish you never did it
Break the shell – you won’t like what you see
Break the shell – you won’t recognize me

Your world around me is cracking my shell
the weight of your problems makes my life hell
under pressure from your house of pain
I choose to live in my shell under strain

I’ve tried to conform – I’ve tried your way
I’ve tried to conform – live my life day by day
this is my reality – my life is in a shell
this is my heaven – outside is my hell

I can’t deny it – I reached my breaking point
I personify it – an eggshell in duress
I can’t deny it – I’m at my limit
I identify with – an eggshell in duress.
