this is NOT my original work. this in no way belongs to me— it is simply an honorable mention. this is a song, that has an amazing play on words. the meaning interpreted is beyond my capabilities. this is "shelter" by sleep token.

when it rains, you don't take shelter 
you don't take signs from god 
and when you can't swallow your demons, you become starving 
darling, i'm noticing your flaws 
they're exactly what i want 
even if you won't believe me 
know it 

and as you become part of my waking rituals, i can tell 
you gather up all of my demons 
you become starving 
darling, i'm noticing my flaws 
and i'm matching them with yours 
won't you take me where you're going 
this time? 

and no matter the cost of rain 
i will shelter you all the same 
and no matter the cost of rain 
i will shelter you all the same 

and now and then i notice you laughing 
laughing at perfect death 
then you change, suddenly hollow 
you become starving 
darling, we must have met before 
though i could not say for sure 
if we knew what we were in for 

and no matter the cost of rain 
i will shelter you all the same
and no matter the cost of rain 
i will shelter you all the same
and no matter the cost of rain 
i will shelter you all the same
and no matter the cost of rain 
i will shelter you all the same
