Baton Rouge - Shelter Lyrics

Haven't seen you lately
How you been?
Are you comfortable
Or scared inside there?
Now I heard
You toughened up your skin
Well that's wonderful
'Cause life's not real fair
You can never hide from the
Truth inside
You can't run into
Your shallow reason

When you search your soul
Fill the empty holes
Hope you find it
When the truth's in season
I hope you know
Your sin's allowed
Hear me through the
Silent sound
Soul to soul
You're gonna have to
Shelter me
Everybody take a fall

You're gonna have to
Shelter me from the candle to the
Lonely years
You externalize to calm
Your senses
All your drive is covered
By your fear
Not sensible
But so defenseless
You can say it's me
I can point at you

I can stand and claim
I'm Old Prince Charming
I don't mean to preach
Different tongue I speak
But the attitude is so
Arming
I hope you know I understand
I'm guilty of my
Heart's demands
I'm driving in the coming rain
I'm needing what you
Hide away
