When the say 'It'll be alright'
Do they mean for me or for them?
And when they hold and stroke,
Soothing me with a gentle hush
What are they trying to silence -
My tears or my thoughts and fears
Or the thoughts spinning inside them?
For whom is it 'the best thing'?
And what guarantees can they provide?
If I control my future as they tell me
I would like to get off now
The ride of my life stopped long ago
And I am not sure if I want to walk
I need to sit here and think a while.
It'll be all right; I will do the best thing
But I need some silence
To work out why.
