Lyrics
Cold on my face
Aches in my bones
No door tonight
Just cold wet stone
I fold up my coat like a shield
Head down by the bus stop
A hand on my pocket full of holes
A second hand waiting to snatch what I got
I watch every shadow move wrong
Every footstep feels like a threat
My name feels small in the dark
Like I never belonged anywhere yet
And the rain keeps coming down
Through my sleeves, through my chest
I can hear my own heart shake
When I lie down to rest
No place to hide
No place to hide
I freeze, I flinch, I pray
No place to hide
No place to hide
Don’t leave me out here this way
(Paper thin shelter)
(Paper thin shelter)
They look right through me in line
Then look again like I’m dirt on the floor
That stare hits harder than fists
Like I’m less than a name, less than more
I’m soaked to the skin by midnight
Shoes full of water and grief
I pull my knees to my ribs
Try to sleep, but I don’t dare breathe
Cause the dark got teeth tonight
And it bites when I close my eyes
I keep one eye on the street
While the cold keeps climbing inside
No place to hide
No place to hide
I freeze, I flinch, I pray
No place to hide
No place to hide
Don’t leave me out here this way
(Paper thin shelter)
(Paper thin shelter)
If I fall asleep, who wakes me?
If I blink, who takes me?
If I dream, who breaks me?
If I’m found, will you chase me?
I’m tired of running from hunger
Tired of wearing my shame
Tired of hearing that look say
I’m the one to blame
[Guitar Solo]
Hands off
Back up
I’m barely holding on
Hands off
Back up
I’ve been cold too long
No place to hide
No place to hide
I freeze, I flinch, I pray
No place to hide
No place to hide
Don’t leave me out here this way
No place to hide
No place to hide
Still standing in the rain
(Paper thin shelter)
(Paper thin shelter)
