Tell me I’m good
You don’t have to mean it
I just need to hear it
Sanctuary is the hood on my big green Sweatshirt
Head covered up
And looking down at my cold bare feet

I’m tangled in my mind
A mess of monthly mistakes
Keep me up at night
It’s on my plate like a sour meal
So tell me that I’m good
So I can heal

Look me in the eye
There’s a refuge in the air
Give me a look
A glance
A stare
Then I’ll meet you there

Free me to the stars
It must be better than here
Please give me a chance
I’ll navigate
You steer

Forever I’d run away
Ignoring my problems
Telling myself I’ll be ok
Why do the words to say elude us?
Following the dark pathway
Don’t know where it goes
Such an unknown future
But we live the life
Until we’re free
Dark to dark
Light to light
