I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I FELT SAFE IN THE DARK

I can’t remember the last time

I felt safe when the lights went out.

The shadows creep, and I freeze,

Like the world’s too loud, but I’m too weak to shout.

I walked through alleys, quiet streets,

With my heart racing, just waiting to meet

ked through alleys, quiet streets,

With my heart racing, just waiting to meet

Eyes that don't see, just eyes that judge,

In the silence, I felt the rush.

I’ve been here before, but never quite like this,

I tell myself it's fine, but I can’t pretend,

That the fear doesn’t crawl, doesn’t bend.

When was the last time I felt safe in the dark?

When did I stop hearing my own heart?

I’m just a woman, trying to survive,

In a world that doesn’t care if I’m alive.

The dark doesn't comfort, it steals away

The peace I crave, the light of day.

I used to run, now I walk with doubt,

Wondering if tonight’s the night I'll get knocked out.

I close my eyes, but I can’t forget

The whispers, the tension, the silhouette.

I don't trust the streetlights to keep me whole,

‘Cause the darkness knows how to take control.

I’ve got scars that no one can see,

Can you hear the silence scream?

The weight of the night, crushing my dream.

Every step feels like a trap,

And no one’s there to stop the attack.

When was the last time I felt safe in the dark?

When did I stop hearing my own heart?

I’m just a woman, trying to survive,

In a world that doesn’t care if I’m alive.

The dark doesn't comfort, it steals away

The peace I crave, the light of day
