Security

I was lulled into a false sense of security
I was dreaming that I had everything under control
Had the wind blowing at my back
Was the master on the attack
Had it all laid out before me in neat little piles

When the crack first started to break
I didn't notice, didn't plan an escape
The world was my oyster and I was getting closer
To the great big promised land
When the sand first started to shift
I didn't care, it felt like breeze in the air
Blowing to cool my nice little spot in the sun

I was pulled into a false sense of serenity
Was at peace with the world
And holding my head up high
I felt just like an astronaut in the sun
All alive inside and she's keeping me warm

When it broke on down and it started to slip away
I was thinking about something else
I didn't notice the plaster crumbling from the wall
I didn't know that everything would have to fall

When we broke in two I could not believe it
When we fell apart I could not say why
I always thought that I'd be the one to have it all
When it faded to dust I could not believe it
When I lost my grip I could only cry
I was the one who never thought it'd be gone

It's an exception when you're exceptionally fine
To even mention that you'll have to walk that line
In my direction you will find that it takes time
To never get to a place where it's all right

I was lulled into a false sense of security
