Shelter me father, I can't build these words
To save my soul, let alone cast a curse
I've become a joke with no reaction
And I need you to say "Sometimes shit happens"
Now don't be a fool, boy, and don't imagine
Your dreams like you will always have them
Or they will have you locked up like an addict
Begging for light, no, know you can't have it
We all once got mixed up with the magic
And we're still basking in the habit
Comfort me mother, my head is on fire
From falling asleep wherever I feel tired
Waking up with a new observation
The brain finally left the station
Now don't feel so lost, son, just put on your cross
Your bones are here to stay but the rest of you rots
We all once got messed up with our thoughts
Now all we can do is pray it stops
To the only two who
Know me, need me
The two who used to
Show me, feed me
I love you.
