Safe//Sound

This life was made for me Suffer and thrive to the same degree (See me now) Are we built for dust? Drilled in my heart to clutch aimlessly (See me now) What's safe is never sound Being too desperate Defeating connectedness What's safe is never sound To find love, I must be found I won't greet you with a wave of regret Favorite memories, I'll play 'em back Like a tape or cassette I felt we escaped time, so afraid of what's next There's beauty in the temporary And unruly in theft What lives remains true in its death Love it or leave it, you'll do what's best for you I appreciate you for that Ain't no use to burn in hell if we're baked out of scratch This life was made for me Suffer and thrive to the same degree (See me now) Are we built for dust? Drilled in my heart to clutch aimlessly (See me now) What's safe is never sound Being too desperate Defeating connectedness What's safe is never sound To find love, I must be found To claim that for myself, my inner child must be attached Tell him that he's worth it And to trauma, we're more than that Regardless of my past, I'm sorry for violating your trust No relationship stands firm on emotional crutch You said we were okay That was more than enough You were a great friend that showed me ways to love Friends, self, and family And every moment that's tucked In between our days, Where dinner plates were plucked Clear as a blade of glass, Your facial expressions would cut When you saw that girl with the dress Then labeled her as your crush Funny but also stunning Capturing who you are Seeing beauty in people from up close to afar A part of me hates that it's so hard to move on Growth and maturity can be God's deadliest taunts Revisit the night we swam close in the bar Music patrolled the coast Not a stroke for my thoughts Tell you I'm nervous and on board for a walk My anxiety doesn't sit None of it your fault Take you at your word That our bond couldn't be hurt Redirect concerns like a call-and-response This life was made for me Suffer and thrive to the same degree (See me now) Are we built for dust? Drilled in my heart to clutch aimlessly (See me now) What's safe is never sound Being too desperate Defeating connectedness What's safe is never sound To find love, I must be found
