A shrine (Latin: scrinium "case or chest for books or papers"; Old French: escrin "box or case") is a holy or sacred place, which is dedicated to a specific deity, ancestor, hero, martyr, saint, daemon or similar figure of awe and respect, at which they are venerated or worshipped. Shrines often contain idols, relics, or other such objects associated with the figure being venerated. A shrine at which votive offerings are made is called an altar. Shrines are found in many of the world's religions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, Chinese folk religion and Shinto, as well as in secular and non-religious settings such as a war memorial. Shrines can be found in various settings, such as churches, temples, cemeteries, or in the home, although portable shrines are also found in some cultures.
A shrine may become a focus of a cult image.
Many shrines are located within buildings designed specifically for worship, such as a church in Christianity, or a mandir in Hinduism. A shrine here is usually the centre of attention in the building, and is given a place of prominence. In such cases, adherents of the faith assemble within the building in order to venerate the deity at the shrine.

i am in circles, you're a straight line
you are the fix i'd hope to find
and people can be so
all that i want now is not to change
you are the hope you will stay the same
and people can let go
i like to keep your pictures candle lit
i need you to be someone i worship
might be to hard to handle if you were mine
and that is why i built this shrine
i keep my distance, everything's clear
and there are no words i need to hear
it's better for both of us
and all that i want now is not stray
i need the strength you radiate
it's something i can trust
i like to keep your pictures candle lit
i need you to be someone i worship
might be to hard to handle if you were mine
and that is why i built this shrine
it's everything i never told you
and i don't ever need to own you
i don't ever want to hold you
until you die
so don't don't don't
i like to keep your pictures candle lit
i think you could be someone i worship
might be to hard to handle if you were mine
and that is why i built this shrine
i like to keep your pictures candle lit
i think you could be someone i worship
might be to hard to handle if you were mine
all of my unmatched disciples
floating minions laying mines
said he didn't wanna find her
sharing this spot in the shrine
said the past was worth repeating
(bring your blankets for the coin/choir)
said he'd leave with just a greeting
sharing this spot in the (slime)
please don't let me see inside
please don't let me look inside
(cut a *) to release her
spread himself among the stars
said he wanted to believe it
had a temple anyway
please don't let me look inside
please don't let me see inside
please don't let me look inside
