Hundredth - Shelter lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Separation from everything

You boarded up your mind

With whatever you could find

You chose shelter over the storm

So you could still smile

You thought hiding from the truth

Would be worthwhile

(Chorus)

I'd rather be awake and fight the misery

I'll waste away if I stay asleep in my apathy

I'm not satisfied, trapped in a lie

Locked inside, self-defiled, mental suicide

(Verse)

I see further and I feel more finely

And if that burden be the curse

With which I must walk the earth

It's a price worth paying

Does the body rule the mind?

Or does the mind rule the body?

I think I finally know

I think I finally know

We have to fold something to make ends meet

We're backed into a corner and forced to live on our knees

They shun those who think, and silence those who speak

But fuck authority, leaders make us weak

(Chorus)

Rather be awake and fight the misery

I'll waste away if I stay asleep in my apathy

I'm not satisfied, trapped in a lie

Locked inside, self-defiled, mental suicide

(Interlude x2)

Shelter your mind

For a little while

From the cold truth outside

Evacuate
