Sometimes I feel a little scared
With those who
Should be keeping me
Safe.
But instead of safe
I'm tense and frightened,
Anxious that any minute,
Any second,
The volcano will blow,
The ash will smother me,
And lava will strike,
And I will choke and burn.
Spit flies from furious lips,
And I close my eyes
And retreat to a safe nowhere
And cry,
And wish myself away.
My fault.
My fault.
Everything is my fault.
Just a kid. I'm just a stupid kid.
Tell me what I've done,
Please, explain it in better terms than
Yelling and smashing
And scaring me to death
Just a stupid kid.
I never listen,
Never listen,
But I don't lie,
Don't ever disobey.
Let me fall
Asleep
And go to my special
Nowhere,
Where I can finally feel
Safe.
Nowhere is safe.
Nowhere is always safe.
