Shell of a Fighter

I dream of changes.

I change my dreams.

I feel so restless,

sometimes I get so mean.why should I bother

finding the will,

when every movement I make

just seems like I'm standing still?[chorus:]

the shell of a fighter,

the shell of a man,

the weight of a lifetime -

waiting for your healing hands.and still I rise,

and still I dream,

and still I feel,

and I wait.[chorus 1 repeat][chorus 2:]

why don't you hold me

when I need you to?

why don't you touch me

when I reach for you?[chorus 3:]

why don't you hurt for me

like I do for you?

why don't you dream of me -

dream like I'm dreaming of you?[chorus 1 x2]the shell of a fighterand still I rise,

and still I dream,

and still I feel,

and I wait.the shell of a fighter
