Shell Video (MV)

As I awake from my sleep
Mortal pain grips my soul
I try to scream so deep
But no sound comes from below
I scream and scream again
Why is all the noise held within
Louder and louder, I will go
Still no sound will show

As I look around the room
Oh, what do I see
A group of people look back at me
With tears in their eyes
I see no glee

Sadness is all around
Still, I hear no sound
Their mouths are moving slow
What they say I don't know

Am I in a dream or reality
Someone leans over to my ear
With a look filled with fear
Must I get up I want out of here

Desperately trying to move my hand
Left and right and forward again
I can see there on the bed
Just lying there playing dead

Why can't you move I think in despair
Then I see it's still lying there
Willpower can make it move
That I aim to prove

Once and once again I try
My brain will pry and pry
What has happened to me
All I can do is see

My wife is standing in the hall
For her I try to call
Still no sound at all

Sadness grips my heart
What have I done to be here
Reach to memories so dear

Then the rush comes so fast
The truth I know at long last
Shot down in the prime of life
Had managed to save my wife

Shot down in the street
Of my hometown
Remembering the awful sound
As my body hit the ground

The gunman's bullet had struck the spine
While standing between hers and mine
My brain is all that functions now
Hope to get by somehow

There's no chance of getting well
I'm stuck inside this frozen shell.
