THE DELICATE KIND
THE DELICATE KIND
It's okay - you're fine - every thing is alright
Justa bad dream in the middle of the night
Turn on the light,
(turn on the light)
Your dream gave you a terrible fright
Rub your eyes and regain your sight
There are no monsters behind the door
There's nothing slithering across the floor
Try to ignore,
(try to ignore)
No reason to get up and explore
Your nightmares can't hurt you no more
Put reality back in the drawer
Place the truth back on the shelf
Turn the sound down a little lower
Listen to the stories you tell yourself
It's all in your imagination dear
You know nothing bad ever happens in here
What did you hear?
(what did you hear?)
The sirens sounding out the 'all clear'
Now let those visions disappear
I'm sure it's just something in the air
Cover your mouth if you're going out there
Only if you dare,
(only if you dare)
At your own risk; buyer beware
Side-effects are extremely rare
Put reality back in the drawer
Place the truth back on the shelf
Turn the sound down a little lower
Listen to the stories you tell yourself
Relax; now take a deep cleansing breath
One hard push and a wide open breadth
Out of the depth,
(out of the depth)
Newborn takes her first mortal breath
Healthy and pink, no illusions of death
It's alright; you're just losing your mind
Yours was always the 'delicate' kind
Push the rewind,
(push the rewind)
Looking for answers you won't ever find
Acase of the blind - leading the blind
Put reality back in the drawer
Place the truth back on the shelf
Turn the sound down a little lower
Listen to the stories you tell yourself
