Trapped Inside
Shovel Knight vs. Mercury

Lyrics: Mirby, Jorito


Verse 1 (Shovel Knight):

Woke up again, 
Surrounded by this blue armor.
Panic sets in, 
Then I start to remember.
 
It can be tight,
But for shovelry I must wear this.
It's why I fight,
To earn what I miss.
 
Prechorus (Shovel Knight):

Days when I was free,
To feel the warmth of the sun on my face.
But that is no more,
I'm surrounded.
 
Chorus (Shovel Knight):

Trapped in this metal skin,
Craving for my liberation.
Release me from within,
To be free, to again be myself.
 
Bridge:

When will I break out?       
Will freedom come about?
 
Verse 2 (Mercury): 

Running around,
As quickly as I am able.
I own it all,
Your shinies are mine.
 
Though I admit,
I wish I was not as squishy.
A solid skin,
That is all that I want.

Prechorus (Mercury):

Days when I wasn't free,
To move in whatever ways that I could move.
But that is no more,
I am melting.
 
Chorus (Mercury):

Trapped in this liquid skin,
Craving for my liberation.
Release me from within,
To be free, to again be myself.
 
Buildup:

Trapped in my skin...
Trapped in my skin...
Trapped in my skin…
Trapped in my skin,
Will I ever get out?
 
 
Verse 3 (Both):

Our fate is sealed,
Trapped inside these restrictive bodies.
Our paths are set,
There is nothing that we can do.
 
Our time has come,
Our destiny set before us.
There's no escape,
No chance to be freed.
 
Chorus (Both):
Trapped in contrasting skins,
Craving for our liberation.
Release us from within,
No more fuss, we'll once more be us.
 
Final Chorus (Both):

Trapped within contrasting bodies,
By choice or by design.
No chance now to ever go back,
Now that we know that life will change.
 
Outro:
We'll never break out,
Our freedom will never come about...
