I've been trying

Getting no sleep and I struggle with eating

I've been crying

Echo chambers keep in screaming

So call me your friend

Emotionally available to offer healing

But you've been mad

You should have known better when you got your reading

Don't stay awake

Things have been bad since you lost your mother

Your father was a snake

Had you wandering through the town like you loved somebody

Said you know what it's like to stitch yourself

Had a life-saving operation when you were twelve

And you kept things safe

Yeah you've always been safe, I can't say I blame you

The kids are alright

We played with fire and learned from the burning

But keep us in sight

There's creatures in the night
