I Will Not Be Safe

[Verse]
I wanna say something to the machine
And it's like this
I was writing about
I was writing to myself ab—
Well, I was writing to someone about, um
How I wanted to do this thing
And I— And I thought about how I want to live as well
And I th— what I wrote was, uh
I will not be safe
I will be magical
I will be open and true and good
It will be the sound of me being magical
I will be incomplete
I will not be safe
Love is not safe
Courage is not safe
I have the greatest gift of all to give
It's my love
It's the best thing in the world
And even though it doеsn't need to be receivеd
For it to be so great
I will not be sheltered, even by this fact
I will not choose cynicism
Or take it up on its delicious, bitter offer
That is so comforting and familiar
And final and fatalistic
I won't need any promises nor denials
I do not have the answer
I won't compose an ending to defend myself from blistering rays of hope
And I won't hide behind a matchstick of a sweet little word, either
I will be naked like water
It's the worst place to be
It's the best place to be
It's where we are anyway
I will be there, I am there
I will be
