i feared you without hesitation
before i willed my mind to love you
conventions overwhelmed me into
this blindness, you call love
before i willed my mind to love you
conventions overwhelmed me into
this blindness, you call love
i'm told, forgiveness is needed
condition the mind to forget
but forgiving you seems worse
than forgetting you
condition the mind to forget
but forgiving you seems worse
than forgetting you
i created illusions of comfort in my mind
and built that shelter in my heart
conceiving our lies with a pulse
you are my own blood
and built that shelter in my heart
conceiving our lies with a pulse
you are my own blood
so desperate for what
didn’t exist in front of my eyes
i shut our lights off and silently beg
to feel the warmth of you,
under my skin
in the dark
didn’t exist in front of my eyes
i shut our lights off and silently beg
to feel the warmth of you,
under my skin
in the dark
only then, was i not afraid
for i knew, you could not see me
for i knew, you could not see me
i love you
i don’t feel safe with you
i don’t feel safe with you
