Sheltered

Sheltered

If I had to live in a fallout shelter
I'm glad it got to be with you
Even though the air outside is toxic
And we are rapidly running out of food
Even with the water tainted
And mutated rats chewing through the barricades
I've already looked deep into your eyes
And lost my will to track the days

The days are too hot even inside the shelter
The nights are too cold even under all of our blankets
The truth is becoming a reality
I don't think it possible that we might make it
But I would rather die inside with you
Than try to live out there without your voice
I've made us a special drink
I think it's time we make a choice

Hell is the earth, so heaven must be a place
We should discover it together
Walk side by side into the end
Me and you together forever
We both stare into each other eyes
On our lips the familiar taste of one another
Then we drink the blissful poison
And hold on tight to each other
