I live in a shell Nobody can hurt me I crawl up inside this hollow place I call home There's no light in my cramped, tiny shell I've never known life outside this shell Where you have no covering, you're just exposed I don't know what that's like or how it feels I just know that I can't break free from my tiny home If I get loose I could die because I'm simply a turtle.
