Shell Shock

[Verse 1] In this fallout shelter, the walls are shaking Bombs keep falling, the ground's quaking Children crying, their tears flowing free Shell shock's gripping, this misery [Verse 2] Sleepless nights, and haunting dreams Flashbacks of war, and anguished screams People suffering, from the horrors they've seen Shell shock's a prison, where they're forced to be [Chorus] Shell shock, shell shock, it's taking its toll Constant bombardment, it's crushing the soul Trauma's running deep, in the hearts and minds Of those in this shelter, leaving scars behind [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Verse 3] In World War One, they first saw the signs Soldiers in the trenches, losing their minds Shell shock's a wound, that's hard to heal A condition so real, it's impossible to conceal [Verse 4] In this fallout shelter, we're trying to cope Holding on to fragments, of shattered hope Children's cries, echo through the night Shell shock's a battle, that we're forced to fight [Chorus] Shell shock, shell shock, it's taking its toll Constant bombardment, it's crushing the soul Trauma's running deep, in the hearts and minds Of those in this shelter, leaving scars behind Shell shock, shell shock, a testament to war Psyche's battered and bruised, down to the core [Outro] Shell shock, shell shock, a testament to war Psyche's battered and bruised, down to the core [End]
