Safety Lyrics

Who's fault is it

I've got no one to blame

When these walls give in

Who's price do I pay

Should the letters of my last name

Shrivel up into shame

Or should I turn off the world

I'll turn off everything

Two steps forward

One step back

I've got nowhere to unpack my stuff

Keep telling me to relax

But you don't even know where I belong

Do you

If I go down this road what will I see

I've got holes in the soles of my shoes

Burned through already

If I open my eyes, can I decide that I never want to see

No promise in this compromise

So why'd you promise me safety

The dust on the books

So thick

I could draw a smiley face in it

Why does everybody keep on asking me if I'm okay

One man's not enough

To fill the empty space in this place

Just one girl

Toughen up

But I can't make it feel okay

Two step forward one step back

I've got a bedroom but I can't sleep

Keep telling me to relax

But you won't even let me speak

If I go down this road what will I see

I've got holes in the soles of my shoes

Burned through already

If I open my eyes, can I decide that I never want to see

No promise in this compromise

So why'd you promise me safety

Save our souls

Sparrows crow overhead

It's the same book

Different chapters left unread

Take what's done

Leave the weariness and dread

Do your worst

Let forgiveness do its best

If I go down this road what will I see

I've got holes in the soles of my shoes

Burned through already

If I open my eyes, can I decide that I never want to see

No promise in this compromise

So why'd you promise me safety

Hmmm

Hmmm

Hmmm

Hmmm

Hmmm
