"Shelter"

from here to the end
without touching the ground
hold on to something if you can
love lets go when the lights come on

out there it is night
not a pulse not a breath
walk a straight line if you can
footprints will disappear in the rain

an empty house in the dark
with no doors or windows
make a sound if you can
there is no shelter

a face both cold and warm
neither real or truthful
ask me to stay if you can
never go back never go home
