Shelter Lyrics

Turning the key

Opening the box

Pulling you out

Know you've been crying nonstop

I will shelter you

I will shelter you

I'll hold you in my arms

Before I let you go

You don't deserve

To grow in a world so cold

I will shelter you

Yeah I will shelter you

Seven years of trauma

And counting

I'm forty pounds

With hundred reminders

That I'm a piece of shit

I'm worthless

I should've never been born

Cause I'm a burden

I've seen so fucking much

It's just nasty

Why the fuck did you

Not protect me

The sex and violence

Prick after prick

The list goes on and on

And it just makes me sick

Now this man is breaking down

My door and I'm just screaming

I keep calling out for you

But you're too busy sleeping

Turning the key

Opening the box

Pulling you out

Know you've been crying nonstop

I will shelter you

I will shelter you

I'll hold you in my arms

Before I let you go

You don't deserve

To grow in a world so cold

I will shelter you

Yeah I will shelter you

I will shelter you

I will shelter you

I will shelter you

I will shelter you

Wide awake

Three in the morning

Everybody's sleeping

While I'm here broken

Thinkin about the shit

You've done to me

It's been two fucking decades

When will I breathe

I'll get over the pain

Like the pain don't matter

But these fucking wounds

Won't heal I'm feelin shattered

Still that seven year old that's

Screaming at the top of his lungs

I will shelter you

I will shelter you

I will shelter you

I will shelter you
