Shuttered
Shuttered up alone
Scared of your own shadow
Tangled up in ribbons
And tight Medusa curls
Frozen in your tracks
Blood that’s chilled to venom
Fading in your happy face
Your ballerina twirls
Shudders down your spine
Baby you got shadows all the time
Baby you’re just shattered deep inside
Baby don’t you see you’re cold and shuttered, baby
Maybe you’re just shut down
Sure as eggs is eggs
You curry your own favor
Innocence don’t suit you baby
So sickly sweet, you’re stuck
Running hot running cold
You sample every flavor
You’re welcome to the fallout, baby
Can’t save you, you’re star-struck
Shudders down your spine
Baby you got shadows all the time
Baby you’re just shattered deep inside
Baby don’t you see you’re cold and shuttered, baby
Maybe you’re just shut down
Anyway you look at it
You’re only seeing red
You’ll never get your house in order
If you hide all your precious things
If this is you while happy
Well then I’d hate to see you sad
You picture yourself all tied in knots
But we know who pulls the strings
Shudders down your spine
Baby you got shadows all the time
Baby you’re just shattered deep inside
Baby don’t you see you’re cold and shuttered, baby
Maybe you’re just shut down
