Shelter Lyrics Porter Robinson Novels & Stories

There are about sixteen homeless people sleeping peacefully in different spots as we pass by. “Elara,” Lorenzo calls me slowly, before he gulps. “What is going on? Where are you going?” I don’t respond. I just keep walking to the end of the street, with him still trailing behind. When I step into my makeshift shelter—a worn-out tent, with some clothes and a few belongings—I turn to him with a faint smile that doesn't reach my eyes. “Mr. Lorenzo Russo, welcome to my humble abode—something you helped cause.”

"In my darkest hour you came to me Lending me your strength You held me up and protected me from harm. When worries plagued me and troubles followed I found safety in your arms. You could have been the man of my heart. When life came rushing fast at me You held me safe in the dark You gave me all you had and then gave me more. In the darkness of night Your love surrounded me And sheltered me at its core. Were you the man of my heart? We've faced troubles together And celebrated joy Your love surrounded me at night Without you I'd be cast adrift You're the one who gives me light. You're the man of my heart. Yes, forever, that's how long it will last Forever and a day You brighten my life and

I can also hear them in the distance, leaving the main pack house. I wrap my arms around him tighter, running my fingers through his hair. He still wouldn't calm down, his body trembled and it broke my heart. I could have used my croon to calm him down but instead I decided to do something else. Something I used to do for the little pups back home when they were upset.... I began to sing... "I will shield your heart from the rain. I won't let no harm come your way. Oh, these arms will be your shelter,

It's so cold in your wilderness I want you to be my keeper But not if you are so reckless" I could listen to Ryker sing forever because that's just how good he was. "If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently Don't pretend that you don't want me Our love ain't water under the bridge If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently Don't pretend that you don't want me Our love ain't water under the bridge" we sang the last two verses together just as the familiar restaurant came into view. The song ended seconds after Ryker parked his car near the entrance. Once he shut the car off, telling to stay put, he got out and opened the umbrella before walking to my side of the car and opening my

But they couldn't save the man who had been their rock. She thought of Ashiel. Of his sacrifice. He had given everything to protect the song of life. And now Ronan, in his own way, was sacrificing too, trapped in a silence far deeper than the Hush's. She leaned her forehead against Ronan's cold, unfeeling shoulder. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "I'm so sorry we can't get you out." And then, without thinking, she began to hum. It wasn't the garden song or a song of power. It was the lullaby she used to sing to Lyra when she was a baby. A simple, repetitive tune about the moon and the stars and a mother's love.

Rowan As I lay in a cot in the safe house, all I can do is think of Harper. Headphones on my head, music playing on loud. I have a small journal in my backpack; I never go anywhere without it. It's none of Harper's journals. I re-read one of my favorite poems she wrote. It will always be my favorite one. It is titled: "A Freckled Universe of You":

I said and started going away but he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and started walking. " Kevin, leave me... I don't want to talk to you. " I said. " Then shut up... But I am not leaving you alone here. " He replied. " Where are you taking me? " I said. " To our shelter. " He replied. " Shelter? " " Yes, a deserted house... " He said. " House?? " " Hmm... I can't let you sleep in open. You attract danger and problems. What if some wild animals attack us?? " He said.

My hands trembled as I clutched his pillow to my chest, holding it like an anchor to keep myself from collapsing. Brother Shawn’s prayer rose softly over the gathered crowd, solemn and steady, as everyone formed a circle around us. Lyra stood faithfully by my side, her presence solid and grounding. Then, through her soft robotic voice, I heard the theme song of my pup’s favorite show. The sound broke me. The memories came rushing in—his laughter, his tiny hands clapping to the music, his joy so bright it had once filled our entire home.

" I went on to my go to alley to sleep. It's relatively safe because it's beside the shelter. I lean on the wall and use my bag as a cushion. I able to wrap the blanket around me twice since I am thin and small. I silently prayed for my safety and thank God that Mr. Hoodie is alive and well and of course the Bradford family. I woke up when I heard the rush hour traffic in the morning. The horns of the cars doesn't stop even if the traffic's flowing. I stretch my aching body because of sleeping while sitting. I sluggishly walk inside the shelter and sleepily smile at the volunteers. "Goodmorning." I greet. "Mornin sweetheart. You better move your ass. Breakfast time is almost finish." I gave
