Safety

have you ever felt like you were in a hurricane?

or losing a fight that wasn't a fight after all?

or feeling those feelings that aren't your's to feel?

drowned by the weight of the world and caught in its spinning wheel?

they'll say that you're not alone

they'll say that you're not the only one

but how do they know how it feels?

how can they tell you it's not real?

until they've...felt for themselves what its like to have you world cave in

suffocate on the words you can't say to the people you love and who love you most

they can't tell you that you're wrong

they can't tell you that you need to be strong

because they don't know how it feels to see the light you need to be alright

but not be able to reach, for safety

have you ever wished for something bad to happen?

cause pain is all that you know how to feel?

Guilt comes with the joy and comfort the darkness you appeal?

they'll say that you're not alone

they'll say that you're not the only one

but how do they know how it feels?

if they say it was never really real?

cause it feels so real 

they need to see for themselves how it feels to be stuck in a glass box

everyone that you love is standing around

watching the world that you built burn to the ground

and as you run out of air, they say "we'll always be there"

because they don't know how it feels to see the light you need to be alright

but not be able to reach, for safety

and eventually

its like one, two, three

you'll wave that flag

let somebody in

and you'll keep telling yourself

its just a matter of time

before they see inside

and go to run and hide

from the skeletons

you hide with pride

cause for once you tried

to see the light inside

and reach for safety

how does it feel?

to know it was real?
