Shelter - The Strange Familiar

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
