Lift the Shell

Here I am still waiting
Just a speck upon the screen
The other slowly fading
I have clearly come to see
That the world would come to me
Through a cold light on the screen

You saw it in a magazine
You read it in a book
You saw it on a TV show
But I never wanna look
And no one's ever home
When you ring the bell
And nothing's ever there
When you lift the shell

Endlessly unfolding
Can't control me with my doom
I'm standing in doorway
Have you come to pull me through?
And desire comes in waves
And the days will always change

[?]
Crawl around the house
Took all the smoke inside
Then we blew it out
And no one's ever home
When you ring the bell
And nothing's ever there
When you lift the shell

[?]
In the darkest place
Anesthetized
Remove the skies of gray
