I only feel safe in my own forgiving space
closing the door, shutting the windows
turning the radio, television, anything
to tune out the world from entering my ears
I dance with my ipod, headphones tightly in
around and around I spin, break dance
do stuff I normally in public wouldn't dare to do

I can chase my fears, lies, anger aside
just to have this moment of relief
I can't take it any longer, I cry out
but with only tears running down my cheeks
I don't show my emotions to anyone but myself
I can only trust the person who is always near; me

Its so hard for me to listen to your words you speak
you don't want to leave me, you really do care about me
are you for sure? seems to me its all lies that you
try and cover up with what the real answers really hold

For me to fall asleep, it takes the pain away
its like a fan, it blows it right out the window
then like karma it comes right back in
I don't take anything for this misery
I don't cut to feel relief from seeing my blood flow out
even that wouldn't give me peace
I don't get high to soar above the skies
I don't drown myself with drinking my sorrows behind
I just come back to my own forgiving space
this is my addiction I so closely hold onto.
