Shelter

There is a sadness in my bones
And I cannot let go of the sadness
There is a silence and it’s leading me into madness
You keep me from sinking down, down too low
I’m paralyzed and I need you close to
Shelter me from the cold starless night
Shelter me from the ghosts in my mind
I feel alive when I am in your arms
You set me free, shelter me
I have been torn and twisted
Lost in a fog, I drifted, I’m drowning
In my wounds, can’t breathe, suffocated
All my armor’s fallen now, pieces laid on the ground
I am naked and I need you now to
Shelter me from the cold starless night
Shelter me from the ghosts in my mind
I feel alive when I am in your arms
You set me free, shelter me
You showed me how to knock it down
The mountain standing in front of me
And you showed me how to crawl
Back out of who I didn’t want to be
Oh, I need you here to
Shelter me from the cold starless night
Shelter me from the ghosts in my mind
I feel alive when I am in your arms
You set me free, you set me free
You set me free, shelter me
