It may surprise you to learn That I cannot return to my genesis Quite simply, I have no fail safe It may leave you wanting for a whisper But, when I open these frail, chapped lips I have no fail safe It may be that I am a savior in disguise Hidden behind briers in the garden But still, I have no fail safe It may trigger a memory from nothing To feel my fingers graze across your cheek Yet, I have no fail safe It may be a splintered crutch That I lean on as I take the last train home But, I have no fail safe It may be that your delicate kiss Is a beautiful straight-jacket But, I have no fail safe It may be that your unforgiving eyes Are a glorious pair of fetters But, I have no fail safe It may be that the combination Is within a world I no longer exist Because after all this time I still have no fail safe .

Fail-Safe and a Beautiful Straight-Jacket
It may surprise you to learn That I cannot return to my genesis Quite simply, I have no fail safe It may leave you wanting for a whisper But, when I open these frail, chapped lips I have no fail safe It may be that I am a savior in disguise Hidden behind briers in the garden But still, I have no fail safe It may trigger a memory from nothing To feel my fingers graze across your cheek Yet, I have no fail safe It may be a splintered crutch That I lean on as I take the last train home But, I have no fail safe It may be that your delicate kiss Is a beautiful straight-jacket But, I have no fail safe It may be that your unforgiving eyes Are a glorious pair of fetters But, I have no fail safe It may be that the combination Is within a world I no longer exist Because after all this time I still have no fail safe .
