"Shelter Song" lyrics
"Shelter Song"
You know you'd never believe it, good friend
Cold friend, scared animal
And I could barely believe it myself
You've got a home
Starving to death
Out by the ocean
Shouts in the mist
Scuffling footsteps
I know you think you're all by yourself
All by yourself
You're not alone
I thought that nobody loved me at 10
Sad kid, scared animal
A nasty win and I'm back there again
Can't let it go
Holding my breath
Up in the church house hall
I had my strength
I had my skin and bones
I thought that I was all by myself
All by myself
But I was wrong
Never alone
And now
A home
A home
A home

"This song is about treating yourself as you would a small animal, since it's so easy to be nice to a dog but less easy to be nice to yourself." - Will Sheff.
