Shelter

I hate that I can't seem to extend my invitation
To the shelter behind my eyes
Because I swear that I'd strip my skin back
Just to provide you with a place to hide
This world's not one of kindness but in the seclusion we reside
Each sorrow we must endure is universally romanticised

Grant me entrance into your decaying home
No longer, will I allow you to face this suffering alone
Sacrifice your solitude for a chance to break your curse
I'll shelter you, as soon as I break mine first

I hate that I don't possess the power within me
To lift the misery from your soul
But I swear I'd rend myself to mend you
I'd tear myself apart to make you whole

I'd rend myself to mend you, I'd tear myself apart to make you whole
Tear myself apart
Shatter my shields and pull down my walls
To repair the fraying edges of your halls

No longer will I allow you to suffer alone

You deserve more than I could ever give
You deserve more than I could ever give
More than I could give
This world's not one of kindness
But in the protection I provide
If we all must live in sorrow
At least
At least we'll have a place to hide

So accept my invitation to my home
No longer, will I allow you to face this suffering alone
Sacrifice your solitude for a chance to break your curse
I'll shelter you, as soon as I break mine first

I'd tear myself apart to make you whole
