Safe or Sound

(Verse)
Life ain’t the same without
The hurt and the pain
But I guess that’s just living
Bout time I start thinking

And I wonder just how
People can walk around
With all this love and attention
If only they knew of their sickly confessions

But I, too, see the colors
Just not in all the others
But with you there’s a difference
I am blinded by pigments

I am trapped in the dark
It has all but shattered my heart

And I can see it in your eyes

(Verse)
Can you find it in your heart?
To cleanse my wounds and heal my scars
This brokenness will have to wait
At least one more day

The light, it burns my skin
But still I take it in
Like I’d die if it disappeared
That’s my greatest fear

I’m not here to preach to you
But thanks for the things that you do
Hope I’ll be fine on my own
On my journey home

But I’m still trapped in the dark
All it does is rip me apart

And I can see it in your eyes

(Chorus)
Like the sky is falling down
Like the Earth stopped spinning ‘round
As my knees sink to the ground
No I’m not safe or sound
(Safe or sound)
No I’m not safe or sound
(Safe or sound)

Like the sky is falling down
Like the Earth stopped spinning ‘round
As my knees sink to the ground
No I’m not safe or sound
(Safe or sound)
No I’m not safe or sound
(Safe or sound)

(Solo)
Can you see it, can you hear it?
All this blackness, locked inside my head
Might kill all of existence
Tell me how to rid of it

Hopefully it won’t take much
Maybe a kind and gentle touch
Maybe if I tell it to hush
Please, just turn it to dust

Everything seemed A. O. K
I kept my guard at bay
Wouldn’t listen when you’d say
Man, you’ve gone astray

You’re the one who can rescue me
Find the key and set me free
I don’t know if you can see
My life depends on thee

(Chorus)
Like the sky is falling down
Like the Earth stopped spinning ‘round
As my knees sink to the ground
No I’m not safe or sound
(Safe or sound)
No I’m not safe or sound
(Safe or sound)

Like the sky is falling down
Like the Earth stopped spinning ‘round
As my knees sink to the ground
No I’m not safe or sound
(Safe or sound)
No I’m not safe or sound
(Safe or sound)

And I can see it in your eyes
