Tightly closed eyes spark imagination
Finding some place that is safe
Safe from broken glass and shattered hearts
A place that is not so fragile
Trembling hands go numb
They search for something familiar
Hoping to stumble upon comfort
Something to give them feeling
Holding back venomous secrets
My lips settle on a familiar friend
Inviting a new poison to drown my secrets
Praying it will work this time

Tightly closed eyes spark imagination
Finding some place that is safe
Safe from broken glass and shattered hearts
A place that is not so fragile
Trembling hands go numb
They search for something familiar
Hoping to stumble upon comfort
Something to give them feeling
Holding back venomous secrets
My lips settle on a familiar friend
Inviting a new poison to drown my secrets
Praying it will work this time
