Safe And Sound

(album: Prepare For Despair - 2023)

It's been quiet in my mind
Now I'm paranoid
It's just a matter of time before it's making noise
It's like an hourglass I can't turn over
And when it's out it comes down like a mortar
I know you think I'm always in control
But it's hard for me to let things go
There's nothing left to talk about
Now you got me thinking how

I've been getting bad news
All night
Swimming in a safe place
That's run dry
You'll never get the chance to
Rewind
You say that you can, but don't
I need an antidote
When safe and sound
Comes burning down
I'll be getting bad news
All night
Letting go of high hopes
That just died
Die

You seem to love it when you drag me down
You're concrete on my feet, I drown
Yeah breathings kind of hard
Cause I'm sinking in the dark
And you're not gonna pull me out
I know you think I'm always in control
But it's hard for me to let things go
There's nothing left to talk about
Now you got me thinking how

I've been getting bad news
All night
Swimming in a safe place
That's run dry
You'll never get the chance to
Rewind
You say that you can, but don't
I need an antidote
When safe and sound
Comes burning down
I'll be getting bad news
All night
Letting go of high hopes
That just died

I'm watching where I walk
Dodging every aftershock
Of the heavy steps you take
I'll separate
I need a victory
Far and away from where I wanna be
Far and away from the shelter I seek
Far and away from the fresh air to breathe
Everything that's sacred to me is just out of arm's reach

When safe and sound
Comes burning down
I'll be getting bad news
All night
Letting go of high hopes
I've been getting bad news
All night
Swimming in a same place
That's run dry
You'll never get a chance to
Rewind
You say that you can, but don't
I need an antidote
When safe and sound
Comes burning down
I'll be getting bad news
All night
Letting go of high hopes
That just died
Die!

Far and away from the fresh air to breathe
Everything that's sacred to me is just out of arm's reach
