Trapped?

We live on a mountain,
Right at the top.

There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain.
Every morning, I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off...
Like: Car parts, bottles, and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around.

It's become a habit,
A way to start the day.

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you.

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you.

It's early morning.
No one is awake.
I'm back at my cliff,
Still throwing things off.
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down.
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash.

I imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks...
And when it lands
Will my eyes be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you.

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you.

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you.

Safe up, safe up (au fin)

Domestic violence not only emotonally imprisons people, but it can be deadly. If you or a friend feel like you're trapped in an abusive relationship, REACH OUT. People are willing to help and there's nothing wrong in asking for help. Love heals, doesn't injure, and only hurts when it ends, but sometimes the end of love is a new, healthy beginning because if it's not reciprocal, it's not really love... If you feel trapped, PLEASE seek counseling, call a friend, or you're more than welcome to e-mail me and I'll keep everything in confidence.
