Shelter Two - Hazing

I start to run, it’s all in my head

Cause I cannot remember which of us is dead

I found the gun you hid behind your back

But I wish that I could find it while your body was intact

I try again, it’s always the same

You catch your neck in the noose that I hang

And in the end I run to the start

Just to find that without a taste of tragedy we’d only fall apart

If I was a castle

Then you were the last stone

Keeping the ground beneath my feet

Keeping the ground beneath me

If I can be honest

You made me a promise

I guess in the end you couldn’t keep

I guess in the end you couldn’t keep

Pretending to smile

And now I see your ghost every day

I’m not complaining, it makes everything okay

But how did we end up where we are

I’m a lonely hopeless dreamer

You’re a blue-eyed shooting star

I wish for time to pour into you

To figure out if there was something I could do

Brother of mine, we were doomed from the start

But if you need a place to hide away

I swear to god you’ll always have my heart

If I was a castle

Then you were the last stone

Keeping the ground beneath my feet

Keeping the ground beneath me

If I can be honest

You made me a promise

I guess in the end you couldn’t keep

I guess in the end you couldn’t keep

Pretending to smile

I want to be somebody else

I want to see you when I’m looking at myself

I tried to belong, tried be strong

Tried to write a beautiful song

But I always get it wrong

It’s like I’m destined to fight for my sanity

And wage war with the person that I planned to be

Because the only one who ever understanded me

Probably felt like this too

Connor, I miss you

If I was a castle

Then you were the last stone

Keeping the ground beneath my feet

Keeping the ground beneath me

If I can be honest

You made me a promise

I guess in the end you couldn’t keep

I guess in the end you couldn’t keep

Pretending to smile

Keep pretending to smile
