Solitary Shell

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
 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
 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
