When You Thought You Were Safe

paisley boy
plantation fields
felt something wasn't real
so he made it real

purple dream
transistor trees
heard music but it didn't feel
so he made it feel

(chorus) when you thought
                  you were safe
                  the doves would cry
                  when you thought you were safe
                  the riddles untied
                  when you thought
                  you were safe
                 when you thought
                  you were safe

open eyes
poisoned skies
truth in what you speak
what do you seek

velvet world
sugared words
but is it really all that sweet
if they refuse to see

(chorus)

open eyes
yesterday's gone
now it's after eight
just a blinding fate

colors fade
notes un-played
the muse has taken flight
turn down the sun light

(chorus)
