Dada NoDon - Safe//Sound

This life was made for me
Suffer and thrive to the same degree (See me now)
Are we built for dust?
Drilled in my heart to clutch aimlessly (See me now)

What's safe is never sound
Being too desperate
Defeating connectedness
What's safe is never sound
To find love, I must be found

I won't greet you with a wave of regret
Favorite memories, I'll play 'em back
Like a tape or cassette
I felt we escaped time, so afraid of what's next
There's beauty in the temporary
And unruly in theft
What lives remains true in its death
Love it or leave it, you'll do what's best for you
I appreciate you for that
Ain't no use to burn in hell if we're baked out of scratch

This life was made for me
Suffer and thrive to the same degree (See me now)
Are we built for dust?
Drilled in my heart to clutch aimlessly (See me now)

What's safe is never sound
Being too desperate
Defeating connectedness
What's safe is never sound
To find love, I must be found

To claim that for myself, my inner child must be attached
Tell him that he's worth it
And to trauma, we're more than that
Regardless of my past,
I'm sorry for violating your trust
No relationship stands firm on emotional crutch
You said we were okay
That was more than enough
You were a great friend that showed me ways to love
Friends, self, and family
And every moment that's tucked
In between our days,
Where dinner plates were plucked
Clear as a blade of glass,
Your facial expressions would cut
When you saw that girl with the dress
Then labeled her as your crush
Funny but also stunning
Capturing who you are
Seeing beauty in people from up close to afar
A part of me hates that it's so hard to move on
Growth and maturity can be God's deadliest taunts
Revisit the night we swam close in the bar
Music patrolled the coast
Not a stroke for my thoughts
Tell you I'm nervous and on board for a walk
My anxiety doesn't sit
None of it your fault
Take you at your word
That our bond couldn't be hurt
Redirect concerns like a call-and-response

This life was made for me
Suffer and thrive to the same degree (See me now)
Are we built for dust?
Drilled in my heart to clutch aimlessly (See me now)

What's safe is never sound
Being too desperate
Defeating connectedness
What's safe is never sound
To find love, I must be found
