Safe, safe enjoy your time feeling so safe,
And treasure that smile on your face, okay?
Cause time will see that its replaced in a while
So go on smile, smile, handshakes all around, thats your style
And no one would call it denial, for youre
Not even sure whats in store, though its more
Than youll be able to take standing up straight. And it wont be okay.
And you wont be somebody who its just happening to,
Its a trap that you, and only you,
Have laid. Laid with a towel up over your face,
In your armchair, just lying in wait, waiting
Forces were gathering outside your door.
They sharpened their knives and smiled with no smiles in their eyes,
A little bit larger in size
And a little bit hungrier for that tiny prize.
And my mother she said Son, remember this, no matter what someone did
That they once were just a kid at breast and in bib, in blanket and crib.
So just reach inside yourself and find that part that still needs help,
Find that part in someone else and youll do good, so I thought that I would.
Hey, hey – I love you, it goes without saying.
I would give you the world on a tray,
Though theyre already tracing a line across your throat.
Far too late in the game youll find that you have been betrayed
Propped up and pushed into your place
I could claim that it all would go great, but the reason I came
Is to say that it wont. You should
Know that it wont, you should know that it wont
You should know that it wont
And so, Phillip, let go
