Lyrics for I Will Not Be Safe

I wanna say somethin' to the machine And it's like this I was writin' about I was writin' to myself ab- Well, I was writin' 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 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 comfortin' 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 endin' to defend myself from blisterin' 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
