I was safe from war
letting the sand fill up the hourglass
letting second chances slip through the cracks
surrendering attacks
cause there's no place safer than denial
gun smoke creeps these streets like fog
smile and nod like it's none of our business
we stick to our own
over crowded and alone
ignoring the warning signs of survival
what's worse than a dream
we don't intend on following?
how long can we hide behind a lie
turning our mind's eye away from it all?
go all in or withdraw
play it safe and walk away
with everything at stake
turn on the light and feed the fire
give in to your deepest desires
watch the clock tick back and forth
and let the hypnotist take control
try so hard to blend in to compete
find a substitute when you're incomplete
but nothing beats the real thing
I was safe from war
another thing of the past to mourn
so take what we came here for
don't let your purpose go in vain
face the fire
fan the flame
cause there's no safer place than a heart this wild
...the only way of survival
Love Always,
Lainey
