	Funky Dance groove, synthesized electric guitar, and fast spoken word lyrics for a song that hopefully defies genre stereotypes.
	Story Behind the Song Recorded on Cubase with Roland synth, bunch of VSTi's and DR-550 Drum Machine, with Apex 430 mic and Behringer mixer. Lyrics 1st Verse Don't know how long I've been sitting here I've always heard "Be brave, don't fear" My forclaw twitches; begs me to start But for this I have not the heart Nor the nerves nor the senses For what I face I have no defenses To my left the hot land stretches out TO my right no end with no doubt I peer out from under my shell How far is other side I cannot tell For these creatures rumble before me Across my eyes all is blurry They move with much speed but no grace On their big black feet they race and race Clambouring on with such reckless haste No greater challenge I've ever faced. Chorus Stepping out slowly but surely With great diginty I tread And as the wind rushes by me I know in seconds I'll be dead. 2nd Verse The creatures they barrel down Down upon me they seem to frown For this rush what is the cost? In this hot gray land I am lost No place for the likes of me But I was too stupid to see Feelings of foolish pride gave way Only to feelings of fear and dismay Oh only to be back inside my shell These feelings I only wish to quell But no protection will it give me now Over me these creatures will plow Shatter the shell I hold so dear Only now is my error so clear And in the end I feel only nothing To the memory of a shell I cling. 2nd Chorus Stepped out slowly but surely But through madness I fell Oh I wish I would've stayed Stayed safe under my shell.
