LYRIC FOR SALE

By Jax Martin

Shelter

(M)
Deep in your heart of hearts
Your soul of souls
Your core of cores

There’s a sanctuary
A prayer bed
Where love once bled

When I was on the edge
Brought to the verge of tears
Refusing to be shed
That’s when you said to me

(M-F)
When the world tips over
And you’re in too deep
Come dream in color
Come lie next to me
In the darkest hour
Where nothing is real
I’ll give you shelter
(F)Oh, deep within me

(F)
Deep under your tough skin
Your steel armor
Your stone tower

There is a roaring heart
An hungry soul
A trembling core

When you were on the edge
The air too thick to breathe
Need too hot to be pled
(Overlapping)
(F)That’s when I said-
(M) -you said to me

(M-F)
When the world tips over
And you’re in too deep
Come dream in color
Come lie next to me
In the darkest hour
Where nothing is real
I’ll give you shelter
(F)Oh, deep within me

(M-F)
Deep in your heart of hearts
Your soul of souls
Your core of cores

There is a secret place
Where demons rest
And angels sweat

(F)
Come dream in color
Come lie next to me
I’ll give you shelter
Oh, deep within me

(M-F)
When the flood gates open
And passion runs free
Devils in Heaven
We twist and we scream
When the night is over
And all becomes clear
In the morning hour
We’ll wake from this dream
