Shell Shock from Timeless Old by Shovelhead A.D.

Shell Shock

Why’m I rejected
back out Ignorance
of stubborn truth
What’m I missing
Am I just too
indifferent to love
You send a downpour
Only the dead are smiling

Rain can’t wash out
your frail existence
Soak your world blind
With your weakness,
Reality drenches
your weak psyche
Emotion governing
Your soft and weak mind

Sorrow sparks the flame of rage
Confusion washes over me
Shell shock from pain
Anger grows will not decay
Color (me) red, paint me green
Shell shock no pain

Your entrance was
a violent joyous day
Time passed revelry
An afterthought, thrown away,
I see your color
faint and yellow
Watch the world paint me
Blood red and deadly

Sorrow sparks the flame of rage
Confusion washes over me
Shell shock from pain
Anger grows will not decay
Color me red, paint me green
Shell shock no pain


Red! Blood covering my
hands
Origins unknown
Lying there pale and dead
Gown to be… numb!
Frail and devoid of strength
Maybe this was your
fault
You made me do this
Grown to be so… numb!
