The Safety of the Lights

Sometimes you seem to stop

before the crowd calls "Show your naked front"

In the moments just before your song ends

you feel you haven't said enough

The pills wont work the way you want them to

they never do

they take your mind but not your need to

live under the safety of the lights

Sometimes you seem to fall

before the crowd calls "Show the tip of your tongue"

Like a stripper who likes her work

you are never quite done

Killing them wont work the way you want it to

they don't die like that

They'll take their faces but not your need to

live under the safety of the lights

Sometimes you seem to stop

before the crowd calls "Show your bleeding heart"

Just as the curtain falls you

know you're at the start

Love don't work the way it used to

now it's all worn out

They take your time but not your need to

live under the safety of the lights

the safety of the lights

the safety of the lights
