Safety Raft

(album: Cherryland - 2023)

Am I awake?
I fell from a star
Standing in place
Eyes closed in the dark
When the thread started to fray
And the ultraviolet turned into grey
I fell out of place
But I guess people change

Oooo I run, I run
Oooo then come undone
When the black lights in dark rooms were lilacs in full bloom
It all made sense in my head
But nothing's forever, at least that's what someone said

Safe in a box
Don't leave me to be here facing the thought
Things aren't as they seem
In the mirror there's a ghost
He looks like somebody that I used to know
When I still felt sure of my life
Can I have some more time?

Oooo I run, I run
Oooo then come undone
When the black lights in dark rooms were lilacs in full bloom
It all made sense in my head
But nothing's forever, at least that's what someone said

And someone said
"You don't have to put it on your back
The water's coming, take a safety raft
Got some colors didn't know you had
It isn't over, don't you talk like that
Aren't you so bored with being down?
Yeah it's poison to stick around here
So keep it moving 'cause you can't look back
If you're sinking I've got a safety raft"
