Shelter Lyrics by ​rhêtorík

Behind Closed Doors

2017

[Verse 1]
Walk the line, but I keep on, keep on trippin', trippin', trippin', trippin'
Between what I have and what I'm, what I'm missin', missin', missin', missin'
Second hand, I'm Pip like Charles Dickens, Dickens, Dickens, Dickens
Second hand of the clock just keeps on tickin', tickin', tickin', tickin'
Stuck in my room and I don't wanna go outside
I can never feel alone with all these thoughts inside my mind
Please call the doctor 'cause it's Mr. Run And Hyde
Here to take over my life, six feet under for my pride
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyday I wake up, wake up, just wanna get back in my shell
Reality is calling, block her number on my cell
I just wanna move up, move out, have a place all to myself
If anyone can hear me, all I'm saying is
[Chorus]
I want a shelter, a roof over my head
A dollar to my name, the air out of my bed
I wanted shelter, a place to call my own
No more suitcases, zipping up my home
Some time to be alone
[Bridge]
To be alone
To be alone
[Verse 2]
Order number two with the fries, fries
Sleepin' in the booth on the side, side
Still hungry, but ain't nothin' left, left
Wishing things were just going right, right
Call my parents, tell 'em, tell 'em lies, lies
Can't talk now, my phone died, died
Low battery on my faith, faith
On the streets askin' God, "Why?" (Why?)
Why am I stuck up on this roller coaster ride?
I see everything from here, but can't reach it from the sky
I throw my arms up even though I cannot fly
Spread imaginary wings and pray to God that I don't try
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyday I wake up, wake up, just wanna get back in my shell
Reality is calling, block her number on my cell
I just wanna move up, move out, have a place all to myself
If anyone can hear me, all I'm saying is
[Chorus]
I want a shelter, a roof over my head
A dollar to my name, the air out of my bed
I wanted shelter, a place to call my own
No more suitcases, zipping up my home
[Chorus]
I want a shelter, a roof over my head
A dollar to my name, the air out of my bed
I wanted shelter, a place to call my own
No more suitcases, zipping up my home
Some time to be alone
[Outro]
Wake up
You're alright
Just wake up
Wake up
