they both said I made them feel safe
the two with crippling anxiety
the two that stop in their tracks and can't breathe
the two I can't fix, the two
who have to be pulled back into reality
after plummeting down out of all time and space
they can't see their hands right in front of them
and I make them feel safe

you can't feel the earth move, but I feel it spinning out of control
on an axis made up of the knowledge that I will forever be unable to help them
it aches in my chest, but it stabs them in the heart
