Safety Blanket and Light by Kylee Chester
Safety Blanket

I feel your hand slip away And you disappear into the sea Of laughter and music and Eyes staring at me
But I have to keep calm Before they see just how Much I need you with me
But how dare you leave and Let me become small when There’s people around me that loom so tall
(chorus) Because you’re my safety blanket The only familiar face in a space Where I have no place
I’m suffocating in the corner, With my world spinning fast, But the only thing people see is the mask hiding the truth

My eyes dart around the room, searching for something to save me I feel my heartbeat in my ears as my thoughts run screaming
I’m falling apart and I can’t see you I’m on the verge of tears and I need you
(chorus) Because you’re my safety blanket The only familiar face in a space Where I have no place. ➎

Light
Lyrics by Kylee Chester Music by Raiah Rofsky Sung by Allie Babich
I watch you wake up in the morning With a grin on your loving face Ripping me out of my darkened place
I watch you make breakfast with a smile, Serving it to me along with your joy I could’ve slept a year longer but I haven’t eaten in a while
You wrap me in a hug of earth and security And the bright glow inside me restores and I no longer feel broken any more

I’m walking on air and light on my feet Gleaming with a feeling that simply can’t be beat I feel my heart growing with the warmth of your smile If fills me with an unknown energy and I could walk a mile
I think of you and my whole mood changes I didn’t know how contagious you would be The whole world falls away living just enough space for you and me
For so long I’ve been alone, drowning in my thoughts Unable to come up for air as my mind began to rot
I just can’t explain why I’m walking on air and light on my feet Gleaming with a feeling that simply can’t be beat
My head is spinning with the thrill of it all The last time I wasn’t happy, I can’t quite recall You are my everything and my everything is you Our love story will never end because it’s just us two. ➎
