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.
