Safe and Sound

It's been quiet in my mind, now I'm paranoid It's just a matter of time before it's making noise It's like an hourglass I can't turn over And when it's out, it comes down like a mortar I know you think I'm always in control But it's hard for me to let things go There's nothing left to talk about Now you got me thinking how I've been getting bad news all night Swimming in a safe place that's run dry You'll never get a chance to rewind You say that you care but don't, I need an antidote When safe and sound Comes burning down I'll be getting bad news all night Letting go of high hopes that just died (die) You seem to love it when you drag me down You're concrete on my feet, I drown Yeah, breathing's kinda hard 'cause I'm sinking in the dark And you're not gonna pull me out I know you think I'm always in control But it's hard for me to let things go There's nothing left to talk about Now you got me thinking how I've been getting bad news all night Swimming in a safe place that's run dry You'll never get a chance to rewind You say that you care but don't, I need an antidote When safe and sound Comes burning down I'll be getting bad news all night Letting go of high hopes that just died I'm watching where I walk Dodging every aftershock from the heavy steps you take I'll separate I need a victory Far and away from where I want to be Far and away from the shelter I seek Far and away from the fresh air to breathe Everything that's sacred to me is just out of arm's reach When safe and sound Comes burning down I'll be getting bad news all night Letting go of high hopes I've been getting bad news all night Swimming in a safe place that's run dry You'll never get a chance to rewind You say that you care but don't, I need an antidote When safe and sound Comes burning down I'll be getting bad news (bad news) all night (all night) Letting go of high hopes that just died (die) Far and away from the fresh air to breathe Everything that's sacred to me is just out of arm's reach
