Shelter (Oh No)

new/first song in new side project.


who are you
in the darkest hours of the night
when I’m not looking
and do I really wanna know?

do the city lights
bleed through the blinds
and bounce from your eyes
into the night
from your window 

where does your sorrow go
when you find yourself completely alone?

and it’s cyclical
you say of the way your day is spent
bed, train, work, and back again

but you talk of these streets
like the veins of your urban memories, manifest
and I’m thrown

where does your sorrow go
when you find yourself completely alone?

blocks and blocks
and swathes of roads
non-descript
and standard homes
dim streetlights
and endless freeway
beers outside convenience stores

incidental bodies
wrap our souls at points in time
your lips shut tight to guard
the depth of a kind and tortured mind

lacing digits, touching toes
tell me things that no one knows
where does all your sorrow go
where does all your sorrow go

early/late

Ourselves the Elves - Shelter (Nights of Rizal remix)

my backspace button’s worn
from the things i never said
i never can afford
to be casual instead
but if you could be so kind
don’t remind me that i’m blindly hung up over you

do i seem to care too much
with how i pretend not to care
you’re too cool for me
but i guess you’re not aware
that i exist but it’s okay
i’ll be over it someday
you’ll look me in the eye
and i won’t melt right in my place
but i really hate your face
and how it it makes me wanna cry
there’s an ache in my dumb heart
that only passes when you smile
and it shines for miles
it reminds me that i’m blindly hung up over you

would you still be just as kind
if you knew what’s on my mind
i’m stifling a sigh
and i hope she treats you right
and the things i’ll never say
will cease to tear me up inside
the feelings bottled up within
will someday crystallize
into memories so nice
that remind me i was once so hung up over you

backspace me

i woke to find your ghost
folded amongst my drawers
on notes tucked in my books
are we still keeping score?

upon the brown brick walls
under the mango tree
we wrote our names in chalk
forgetting rain would bleed

you'd burrow into bed
you’d bury me in sheets
you’d dig my secrets up
and then uproot my grief

i drowned my love in waves
of honey chardonnay
i set my throat aflame
to never say your name

now I know I'm gliding down a tight rope
this train of thought is never gonna lead me home
when your breath blew over like a credo
it still echoes in my head when i'm alone

who would i be if i didn't know you
where would you be if i didn't leave you there
how did i pretend i didn't need you
how could you pretend you didn't see it

all the mile long walks
over blocks and blocks
what you're dreaming of
is what keeps me up

and when i close my eyes
i feel the void inside
i feel the great divide
wishing you were beside me

the great divide

walking home
from the block
where you dropped me off
i feel my palms lose blood

simple suckers
for the rush i know
our common ground
is fucking up

so constantly
why do you talk to me?

i can't be as good for
anybody else
so I'll keep it to myself 

what’s your endgame
what’s your purpose?
you casually ask tough ass questions
‘cause i don't know
does it ever make you nervous?
‘cause i can’t even get up in the morning
does getting old mean making good decisions?
forever wishing i shouldn’t have stayed up

constantly
why do you talk to me?

i can't be as good for
anybody else
so I'll keep it to myself 

walking home
from the block
where you dropped me off
i feel my palms lose blood
