Ellise
Take Me To Safety (Live)
[Verse 1]
Black holes where his eyes should be
Little windows straight to his soul, I could see everything
Black mold where my mind should be
It’s chilling, just the sight of us both underneath
The blankets in the basement
Taking off our clothes, I face it
He’s not you but I’m not complaining
Cause nothing about this is love
[Pre-Chorus]
I-I-I had to let go with the hope
We could go past our own evils
Find someone who could fill your shoes, kiss the bruise
Put myself in default
[Chorus]
Doesn’t know my name, he takes my hand (Ah)
His lips don’t taste the same but he’ll kiss me back (Ah, ah)
When the night is over, I’ll be lower than before
You fill up all the space inside my head
But he can’t take me to safety
[Verse 2]
My lipgloss is on his neck
I can tell he’s lost, nonchalantly he’s taking my breath
We both know this isn’t me, but I’m numb off the memory
Screaming, "We'll see when you leave"
I watched you from the window
Begged you, baby, please just come home
How many sour tomorrows
I need a little pain relief
[Pre-Chorus]
I-I-I had to fill my own syringe, sedative
Keeping me hollow
Find someone to administer and kill the hurt
Someone I could borrow
[Chorus]
Doesn’t know my name, he takes my hand (Ah)
His lips don’t taste the same but he’ll kiss me back (Ah, ah)
And when the night is over, I’ll be lower than before
You fill up all the space inside my head
But he can’t take me to safety, oh ahh-ahh
[Bridge]
Doesn’t know my name, oh baby
His lips don’t taste the same
You been filling up the space
But he’s taking me to safety
Doesn’t know my name, oh baby
His lips don’t taste the same
You been filling up the space
But he’s taking me to safety
[Chorus]
Doesn’t know my name, he takes my hand (Doesn’t know my name, ah)
His lips don’t taste the same but he’ll kiss me back (Ah, ah)
And when the night is over, I’ll be lower than before
You fill up all the space inside my head
But he can’t take me to safety
