I Will Be Fine (At Least For Tonight)
I’ll Be Fine (at least for tonight)
Cover my heart in rapid vines,
Safety pin it to my skin, and blot down the lines
The thorns don’t have edge like the needles and pins
I’ll be fine, at least for tonight
Shield out deceit, re-occurring lies
The truth bleeds out through the love we demise, sullen eyes
The lights aren’t so bright, yet the stars won’t lose its shine
I’ll be fine, at least for tonight
Protect which that is left, in my soul
Keep me blind, hold my hands back towards an open sky
Protect the barrier that keeps us aside
I’ll be fine, at least for tonight
Bury a voice that left unspoken
Face the fears embedded in visions unbroken
Carry tides of promises you won’t abide
You’ll be fine, at least for tonight
Stretch open the seal that binds our tide
The red will not fade no matter how hard you grind
Into the earth you unturned, crystals divine
You’ll be fine, at least for tonight
Lips red deep, yet the smile has grown a shade darker
Sitting so still, our minds couldn’t be much farther
I’ll walk away and be able to say I’m fine
We will be fine, at least for tonight.
