Solitary Shell Lyrics - Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence - Dream Theater

He seemed no different from the rest 

Just a healthy normal boy 

His mama always did her best 

And he was daddy's pride and joy 

He learned to walk and talk on time 

But never cared much to be held 

And steadily he would decline 

Into his solitary shell 

As a boy he was considered somewhat odd 

Kept to himself most of the time 

He would daydream in and out of his own world 

But in every other way he was fine

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

He's a Monday morning lunatic 

Disturbed from time to time 

Lost within himself 

In his solitary shell 

A temporary catatonic 

Madman on occasion 

When will he break out 

Of his solitary shell 

He struggled to get through his day 

He was helplessly behind 

He poured himself onto the page 

Writing for hours at a time 

As a man he was a danger to himself 

Photos 

Fearful and sad most of the time 

He was drifting in and out of sanity 

But in every other way he was fine 

He's a Monday morning lunatic 

Disturbed from time to time 

Lost within himself 

In his solitary shell 

A momentary maniac 

With casual delusions 

When will he be let out 

Of his solitary shell
