lyrics

i can remember a scene from when i
was only four, i was walking with my
brother and his friends along down the road

i was only looking for
a way to feel safe once more
everybody was safe one time
before the blinking and breathing and crying

and then my brother and his friends began
pelting me with stones, i cried and i ran
back to the house, there was no one at home

i was only looking for
a way to feel safe once more
everybody was safe one time
before the blinking and breathing and crying

i ran through the gate and i ran through the door
i called up my mom where she worked at the store
she said don’t call here i’ve told you before

i was only looking for
a way to feel safe once more
everybody was safe one time
before the blinking and breathing and crying

i ran to my bed and howled at the wall
i screamed and i cried till my body was sore
and then i decided to hide in my core
i decided that i wouldn’t cry any more

i was only looking for
a way to feel safe once more
everybody was safe one time
before the blinking and breathing and crying
