Safety

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
