Safe - Nico Santos

I remember the rush We were running, backyard to yard Wasn't scared of going too far Staying out till it was too dark Now daylight don't make it right And you would really know this Closed hearts make closed minds I won't tell you it's all butterflies and roses When I back in time When we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe There's not much comfort in this place Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe When you can't fight the bitter taste Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe I don't remember it all But I know that I was invincible Like the heroes in the cartoons Saving lives through my living room Now daylight don't make it right And you would really know this Closed hearts make closed minds I won't tell you it's all butterflies and roses When I back in time When we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe There's not much comfort in this place Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe When you can't fight the bitter taste Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe I know that I'm a fighter Yeah, I've always been a fighter But I tried to play with fire, and I got burned Don't know how to help this Yeah, I'm feeling kind of helpless Yeah, maybe it's too selfish if it don't wanna hurt I know that I'm a fighter Yeah, always been a fighter But I tried to play with fire and I got burned Don't know how to help this Yeah, I'm feelin' kinda of helpless Yeah, maybe you so selfish if it don't wanna hurt There's not much comfort in this place Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe When you can't fight the bitter taste Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe

Atomic roads, nuclear sunrise They left me all alone Falling stars exploding on the sea God it's beautiful The land and the roses slowly disappeared Why am I so alone? A wounded angel is smiling at me God it's so beautiful

I've been out walking I don't do too much talking these days These days These days I seem to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do And all the times I had the chance to I've stopped my rambling I don't do too much gambling these days These days These days I seem to think about How all the changes came about my ways And I wonder if I'd see another highway I had a lover I don't think I'll risk another these days These days And if I seem to be afraid To live the life that I have made in song It's just that I've been losing so long I've stopped my dreaming I won't do too much scheming these days These days These days I sit on corner stones And count the time in quarter tones to ten Please, don't confront me with my failures I had not forgotten them

The snow on your eyelids that curtsy with age Is freezing the stares on tyranny's wings. The bitter is hard and the warmth of your skin Is diseased with familiar caresses. Withdrawing from splendor and royal decay Among all the triumphs and jaded awards The angry and blazing circus of sun Blasphemes as the crown prince arises. You cannot beget all the sins that you owe To the people of paradise magic Pretend to answer passion and form With foreign rationalizations. Primroses are the jewels that lurk Among masks of pleasure that flicker with doubt Embraces of fame that's simultaneously fear To advance and demand to be recognized. The river shall flow through hollow green faces Of caricature's resentment etched out of the tongues. Both reluctant princess asleep before birth The classical sensitive failures. The worshipping wicked cling to the dark of your heart Lying there and wait with your angels Moan and ravish from dawn to dusk The avaricious young lovers.
