Safe in the Wounds

Accepting the lies
Rejecting the truth
Complaining of attitudes
Forsaking the smiles of joy
Blinded by love
Buried by hope
Expecting answers from tears of repentance

Afraid of pain
Afraid of moving on
Avoiding the symbols
Pushing back the clock
In this circle spinning in the same direction
Trapped in the same vice of regret

I see fire in liquid shape
As waves that come and go
Run to your safe place
And lock your doors
I'll remain in darkness
Rending and twisting my dreams

Fettered to the past life
Composing the moments from an empty page
Reaping the wounds to feel alive
And enclosing the ghosts inside

Reflecting my broken mask in the sky
I rip out my clad skin

I'll be safe in the wounds
As the days turn dark
I'll be safe in the wounds
While I stay away from you

I see fire in liquid shape
As waves that come and go
Run to your safe place
And lock your doors
I'll remain in darkness
Rending and twisting my dreams

I'll be safe in the wounds
As the days turn dark
I'll be safe in the wounds
While I stay away from you
