Sadness in the Safety

I kissed your ring again
Bloody knees from bending over
Can’t see the road ahead
Cuz we’re swimming in mud

And I’m infected
Parasitic happiness
Projecting
The outline of my shadow
Onto everything
Defending
A castle that is
crumbling
There’s sadness in the safety of your kiss

You’re the familiar face
That I can’t speak my truth to
Who said we need to talk
When our life looks this cool

And I’m slower
You had me thinkin that my race was
Over
But I was running chained up to an
Anchor
I’m sinkin when I should be swimming
Forward
There’s sadness in the safety of your kiss

And I’m choosing
To love the danger even when I’m
Losing
But I can always change the way I’m
Moving
But staying here with you has only
Proven
There’s sadness in the safety
