SAFE AT HOME

 

Underneath the anger and frustration, I feel alone

I’ve just found guilt and shame, no wonder I’m safe at home

 

Tried to tell you a thousand times

We wouldn’t be here otherwise

‘Cuz you only listen to your own lies

 

This is how you deal with every shit that comes near

This is why you don’t fear, this is why you’re fine

You made me feel ashamed of how I always feel

So, I wouldn’t go after what I desire

This is why you’ve given me money, I assume

So, I wouldn’t find the strength to leave your side

You made me believe I ain’t worth listening to

You take pleasure of it, and you never deny

 

Knock, knock, who is there? 

Blah blah, same as hell

Whiny girl is hollow

Lock, lock, locked it out

Tossed the keys, happy now? 

All I see is sorrow

 

Tried to tell you a thousand times

We wouldn’t be here otherwise

‘Cuz you only listen to your own lies

 

This is how you deal with every shit that comes near

This is why you don’t fear, this is why you’re fine

You made me feel ashamed of how I always feel

So, I wouldn’t go after what I desire

This is why you’ve given me money, I assume

So, I wouldn’t find the strength to leave your side

You made me believe I ain’t worth listening to

You take pleasure of it, and you never deny

 

No matter how loud I scream

No matter how much I achieve

 

Tried to tell you a thousand times

We wouldn’t be here otherwise

‘Cuz you only listen to your own lies

 

This is how you deal with every shit that comes near

This is why you don’t fear, this is why you’re fine

You made me feel ashamed of how I always feel

So, I wouldn’t go after what I desire

This is why you’ve given me money, I assume

So, I wouldn’t find the strength to leave your side

You made me believe I ain’t worth listening to

You take pleasure of it, and you never deny

Safe at Home tells a story of neglect, frustration, abandonment, condescension on the one hand; and the need to feel loved, safe, and cared for, on the other hand. Sometimes no matter how much we get ahead in life; nothing can change the fact that we have never received the warmth we know we deserve. Raising a child is hard work. You may never realize what harm you caused once it’s too late.
