Calm

[Tijo]

This is a song I wrote the other night
I set down my shovel and look up
from the hole that I've been digging
I've spent these last years dying
Forgot what it's like to be living
Try to break away from these things
but they drag me down and leave me feeling guilty
Outside I'm clean and I'm smiling
Inside I'm dark and I'm filthy
I think it's time that I climbed out
cause I'm on time and time runs out
(music changes)
The light alone will never show
why it's always high or low
No comfort zone when you're alone
often felt but never shown
Caged behind these eyes of mine
are thoughts I can't define
With this world in front of me
I don't fit comfortably
(chorus)
Don't fall apart it's not too late
for you to get your shit straight
Don't let the wind blow you around
Stand tall and don't look down
The nights are long, the cold is strong
find the calm where you belong
Safe from harm....inside these arms
Punky don't leave me alone
I can't make it on my own
You break the gates release the fear
and I finally see clear
I feel at ease inside my skin
until you leave and my light goes dim
I lay awake but I feel calm
Knowing I'll be in your arms
(chorus)
Note: It flows better with music (guitar) but I kinda like the words. BTW Punky is what I call my gf.
