Lyrics

Stay in, stay in, you can be alone
Stay in, stay in, you can feel like home
Breathe in, it’s a place where you belong
Where no one, no one, no one does you wrong

Your castle is your fortress
Where you can lick your wounds
You are people avoiding people
And fall in love with solitude

They won’t find me in my shell
The chances go to zero
I’m a guest in my own skin
I take it off and be myself

The outside is hostile
And the waves hit me hard
So I climb into my shell
To lick my wounds again

Silent and satisfied
Misunderstood and proud

Biting on my tongue
In fear of saying something wrong

My circle of old friends
Is getting empty, is getting empty
Getting empty emptier
And I don’t really wish for
Really wish for new ones

I gotta go home
My batteries are low
This life is a lockdown
I gotta go home
My batteries are low
That’s what it’s all about

I never asked to be here
I hated that from the beginning
Turning molehills into mountains
I feel the pressure building

Should I just go on
Or jump over the wall
And say hello to the sick, sick world?

I gotta go home
My batteries are low
This life is a lockdown
I gotta go home
My batteries are low
That’s what it’s all about

This life is a lockdown
That’s what it’s all about
