Safe Room

This safe room This safe room This safe room faces north It’s built on solid ground Its made from solid wood And concrete at the base It fosters a safe space Suspended place Some face it Some displace it Basis Of their faceless Misery Trickery Of their inner world Crossed and curled Like the crime of a century Your own personal pearl Yeah, the crime of a century Built on idle time Our personal penitentiary Built on yours and mine This marriage Reflects our treachery Built to withstand the test of time The safe room Did you really think it would go away With the closing of a door Do you really think that it will be okay Some things in life you can’t ignore Did you really think it would go away With the closing of a door Do you really think that it will be okay Some things in life you can’t ignore This safe room This safe room This safe room’s Full of storage Sometimes I scale its walls To see what I can forage Like some Labyrinthine forest Its pores They stretch across the walls Its scars they crack the halls The windows bleed The staircase has no steps for feet No entrance where we’ll ever meet Did you really think it would go away With the closing of a door Do you really think that it will be okay Some things in life you can’t ignore Did you really think that it would go away With the closing of a door Do you really think that it will be okay Some things in life you can’t ignore
