Safe To Look?

Tell me when it’s over Tell me when it’s done Tell me when it’s safe to look To see what I’ve become Tell me you will be there When I open up my eyes To be my strength and power To be my loyal guide I cannot face the future I cannot live in the past I cannot survive the present I simply cannot last Caught in this confusion Never knowing which road’s right For whichever turn I make It always feels so tight The decisions? They get bigger The answers? Needed faster The trials of survival? I doubt I’ll ever master There’s a need for being wild There’s a need for being free There’s a need for being loved And a need for being me But who this person is Even I am not quite sure She just keeps getting less Though she keeps on needing more I keep on starting over Everyday, when I awake But then come the early evening I always start to break
