Safety, oh how i embrace your presence
Keeping me guarded and secure
Shielded from insecurities, shielded from pain
Keeping evil at the other side of the fence

You were there for me always through this roller coaster
My appreciation for you goes without merit
Without you I would lose more than I would gain

At my worst, you did the fighting,
At my best you remained close
Your loyalty goes beyond what I can imagine
But every cloud has a silver lining

A friend I thought you were, but oh was I a fool
Blinded and confused, i was tricked by your comfort
Not seeing that your protection was in fact prison
Like chemotherapy what you are is a drastic cure
Not only fighting the bad, but instead killing it all

Constantly acquainted with emptiness and solitude
Never opening a door, you’ve always kept me in the hall
How could i have been so clueless and subdued
Putting unconditional trust in your methods

You say you’ve kept me from suffering
But you also kept me from the beauty the world was offering
As time went by you rendered me careless
Staying in endless wander, never listening to my heart’s call
Robbing me while making me think you were cleaning the mess
Making emptiness my new reality, you’ve kept me behind a wall
I’ve realized that you were nothing but a hypocrite

You’ve not protected me from love but instead kept me away from it
Keeping me numb from the beauty of sacred bond
Oh safety, you’re driving me down a purposeless road

To feeling’s knock you kept me unable to respond
Thanks to my foolishness you now control the car
You’re a liar, a deceiver, only hurt you have bestowed
So you may have won the battle,  but I will win this war
