about

Recorded in a lonely basement, Shelter' is a memoir encased in poetic device, telling of two lovers who short for perfection but missed the romantic mark. Placing melancholy and affection as a physical backdrop, the story describes a belief in exponential and absolute love ranged against material dreams. The question lingers, can we love each other equally? Are our desires more important than self-sacrifice for those we claim to love? When we act selfishly in the face of love, will our dreams bring us comfort? 'Shelter' features performance on an antique Hofner acoustic no longer in existence. Written for a lover in 2010, the track remained a bedroom song due to various band rejections until its first online release in 2012.

Also available on 'C Side Volume 6: Fading Shadows'

lyrics

There's a crimson cloud in the sky
And it 's waiting for somewhere else to cry
Does it surprise we're one with the sky
Does it shock you it's one with our lives

Did your dreams
Bring you shelter
Did your dreams
Give you shelter

Will you sigh
Will you cry
As I place my heart and hands
Inside
Will you sigh
As we die
Say we're crazy
Tonight
Into your fire
Into this pyre
I will place my soul
Entire
You won't cry
You won't sigh
Just say I'm crazy
Say goodbye

Did your dreams
Bring you shelter
Did your dreams
Give you shelter

There's a rainstorm a cliche brace
For we who stand here to wash and stain the face
Could we confide in water's falling grace
Could we decide in fire there's no trace

Did your dreams
Bring you shelter
Did your dreams
Give you shelter

Will you sigh
Will you cry
As I place my heart and hands
Inside
Will you sigh
As we die
Say we're crazy
Tonight
Into your fire
Into this pyre
I will place my soul
Entire
You won't cry
You won't sigh
Just say I'm crazy
Say goodbye

Will you sigh
Will you cry
As I place my heart and hands
Inside
Will you smile
As we cry
Say I'm crazy
Say goodbye
