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
