Tell me I’m good
You don’t have to mean it
I just need to hear it
Sanctuary is the hood on my big green Sweatshirt
Head covered up
And looking down at my cold bare feet

I’m tangled in my mind
A mess of monthly mistakes
Keep me up at night
It’s on my plate like a sour meal
So tell me that I’m good
So I can heal

Look me in the eye
There’s a refuge in the air
Give me a look
A glance
A stare
Then I’ll meet you there

Free me to the stars
It must be better than here
Please give me a chance
I’ll navigate
You steer

Forever I’d run away
Ignoring my problems
Telling myself I’ll be ok
Why do the words to say elude us?
Following the dark pathway
Don’t know where it goes
Such an unknown future
But we live the life
Until we’re free
Dark to dark
Light to light

We may fall into ourselves,
Lack in conversation,
Succumb to our fears,
Revert to trepidation.
They say together we’re wrong,
But when the thunder rolls,
Remember we’re our own,
And we can love.
We may mince our words,
Contradict ourselves,
Try to fix what hurts,
But make it all the worse.
The wings of snow white doves,
Wrap around the two of us.
Accept our fates are forged from above.

We may say forever
Though we don’t try all the time.
We may dance together.
Though we don’t always step right.
The others want us gone,
Stuck in stormy weather.
It’s going to be hard,
But I know we can stay.
Don’t leave me,
I pray.
Don’t reduce me to begging.
I need you here.
Please stay forever.
I know we can stay forever.

The ceiling's so appealing
On this winter night
I'm too scared to dream
The creaks in the house
Are a nightmare's song
Dear demons,
Please let me sleep tonight

This room seeps my doom
As the night wears on
I am in so deep
If I wake I'll apologize
But if while I sleep I die

Then I'll be free tonight

Dear demons,
Please let me sleep tonight

Well then...

I should be falling asleep
I shouldn't dwell on what tomorrow brings
Too tired to fall asleep
Too awake to think
Yet I should be falling asleep
A dream is a dream no matter what it seems
I should be falling asleep
But I'm too afraid to sleep
As I drift into the deep
Oh no
I'm asleep
Caught in another dream...

And there is nothing,
Nothing at all,
Separating us from internal storms.
There is nothing,
Nothing to say,
It's all been said.
Now there's nowhere,
Nowhere to fall,
Nowhere left to sail.
Down that beaten path,
A lane to fail.

Where you want to go
Is a place I cannot see.
Where you want to go
Is a place I don't believe in.
Where you want to go
May as well be a nasty dream.
Where you want to go
Won't include me.
It's a place I cannot stand.
There, you can't hold any hands.

I regret all of it.
Do you?

Because I'm still right here,
Scarred from your sorrow.
Where you want to go
Will leave you hollow.
So no.
Please no.
Don't you dare dig this hole.

You'll be buried.
