Safety Word

© 2022 Karianne Gabaldon

(Verse 1)

I lie in bed with cameras everywhere

Wires glued in my hair

Wires glued in my hair.

The rain is falling and I’m getting scared

Because cameras never lie

Right now it seems I’d rather die.

I’m losing every once of brain

I feel quite unsafe

I feel quite insane.

My whole sanity’s gone down the drain

Instead I’m focused on lame

Cameras watching my bed frame.

(PreChorus)

Will it better by then

Will I find a new light?

Will it better by then

I hope I’ll be alright.

(Chorus)

‘Cause I’m drowning in my own hell.

I’m drowning in fear, can’t you tell?

I am drowning in my own hell.

Where is the safety word?

Where is the safety word I yell?

(Verse 2)

I should have never agreed to this

With it being that I’m mentally sick

I should have gotten a break from this shit.

I just want to get away

But I’m stuck here ‘til Friday

With these electrodes in my brain.

(PreChorus)

Will it better by then

Will I find a new light?

Will it better by then

I hope I’ll be alright.

(Chorus)

‘Cause I’m drowning in my own hell.

I’m drowning in fear, can’t you tell?

I am drowning in my own hell.

Where is the safety word?

Where is the safety word I yell?

(Bridge)

Paranoia

I’m freaking out just by the sight

Schizophrenia

Please come and shed me some bright light.

Paranoia

I’m freaking out just by the sight

Schizophrenia

Please come and shed me some bright light.

They are watching me now

I’m breaking far away down

I’m about to break

There is no way out.

(Chorus)

‘Cause I’m drowning in my own hell.

I’m drowning in fear, can’t you tell?

I am drowning in my own hell.

Where is the safety word?

Where is the safety word I yell?

‘Cause I’m drowning in my own hell.

I’m drowning in fear, can’t you tell?

I am drowning in my own hell.

Where is the safety word?

Where is the safety word I yell?
