Safety
I'm here in the garden
For you to find me
I'm here in the grove
That some call the mind
My fears and my secrets
and sins behind me
Escaping the voices
that are none too kind.
(Chorus)
I'm here in the garden so please, come find me
Before the darkness can come to remind me
I'm hiding away and I feel like I'm dying
The only place where I can feel safe crying
The safety of my mind...
I'm locked in the bathroom
I'm tired of hearing
It's safe from the yelling
my eyes are tearing up...
my eyes are tearing up...
I turn on the tub so
My sobs are quiet
For though I feel small
My sorrow's a giant weight...
My sorrow's a giant weight...
(Chorus)
I'm here in the garden so please, come find me
Before the darkness can come to remind me
I'm hiding away and I feel like I'm dying
The only place where I can feel safe crying
The safety of my mind...
(Bridge)
How would you know, how would you care?
If I can't tell you, what's really there?
The words in my head, they aren't what I say
But nobody's taught me a better way...
/softly/
(Chorus)
I'm here in the garden so please, come find me
Before the darkness can come to remind me
I'm hiding away and I feel like I'm dying
The only place where I can feel safe crying...
The safety of my mind.

I simply wonder if other people have done this, when things get too overwhelming or emotional, when you want to quit but you don't know how, I wonder if anyone else curls within themselves, sort of, because they feel that there's nobody left to trust. I struggle with communication more than most, I've been told. What I think in my mind doesn't always translate through my words, and I've lost a lot of good relationships due to that. Going to a "garden" is a way I cope with not being able to explain myself, I guess.
