It is safe outside?
Can I open my closed eyes?
Is it worth using all my might,
to step out blindly to try?

Is it safe to open my eyes?

Is it safe outside?

Stand in this doorway with me.
Kiss my eyes.
Dab away tears trailing down my cheeks.
Hold me close.
Promise me that nothing’s changed.
Swear to me, we’re safe.

If I unplug the appliances
If I lock the doors
If I check three times
If I ask you once more

Will the results change?
Will I be the reason
love bursts to flames?
Could I stop it if I don’t dare break this chain?

Lock the doors
Unplug the appliances
Check three times
You reassure me you’re fine.


But I don’t know
who’s playing my mind
like fiddle
when I’m in the middle
of an unsolvable riddle

It’s a catastrophy
It makes no sense to me

No, not at all

Perhaps, there’s something more,
a lesson to learned.

I know.
In this life,
we truly have no control.

The blinds are all open.
The people can see inside.

I’m afraid…

But I want you to know.
It’s not all the time.
It’s only when my mind
gives into this awkward rhythm
spaced out, stuck in time.

My mind isn’t only mine.

It is safe outside?
