Safe And Sound By Capital Cities Lyrics Novels & Stories

The last memory she had of the world before everything went black was the final text message I'd sent to her. "Be safe, Carol."

The song she picked was Safe & Sound by Taylor Swift that featured The Civil Wars. “Just close your eyes…the sun is going down…you’ll be alright..no one can hurt you now…come morning light…you and I’ll be safe and soooooound….” she drew a small crowd as she sang “Don’t you dare look out your window ..darling.. everything’s on fire …the war outside our door keeps raging on..hold onto this lullaby even when music’s gone…gone…just close your eyes …the sun is going down..you’ll be alright now one can hurt you now..come morning light..you and i’ll be safe and soooound…ooooh…ooooh…just close your eyes…you’ll be alright…come morning light..you and i’ll be..safe and sound…oooooh….ooooooh….ooooooh…”

"Okay! Do I need my passport? Obviously, I do, but if I may ask, which city do you intend we run to until the attacks stop?" Cage was right in front of me, distracting my already frazzled train of thoughts. He grabbed my trembling hands that clutched at my roots and dislodged them before I could harm myself. All I could smell was him again. "No city on the world map is safe, Blue. Those demons will find you wherever you go. The only person who can keep you safe is Khal." I could have died from a heart attack, but my body was so healthy that the chances of that happening were zero to none. There was no place on earth I would be safe in. How did my perfect life come down to this? What sort of

Later, as I sat on my balcony, the city humming below, I whispered into the night, “Wherever you are, I hope you’re safe.” The wind carried the words away. But for the first time, it didn’t hurt to say them. It just felt like goodbye.

Every movement costs more than I have left. “Let go,” I whisper. “No.” The word is final. I sag against him despite myself, my head lolling against his chest. His heartbeat is steady beneath my ear, maddeningly calm compared to the chaos inside me. The contrast makes my throat tighten painfully. “You’re safe,” he says, softer now, like the words are for both of us. “I’ve got you.” Safe. The word feels foreign. I laugh weakly, the sound dissolving into a cough that sends fire through my ribs. “You shouldn’t,” I murmur. “I’m trouble.”

“If this is what safe is, then I don’t want it.” “Everywhere you go, there will always be danger. If you run to the capital city, you would most likely be murdered. If you go home, your father will mould you to become the ultimate killing machine; causing you so much pain and anguish. If you go to your Uncle Poseidon, he would either kill you on the spot; or mould you. You are not safe anywhere you run. But here, you have some safety.” Robert growled lightly, rising back to his paws.

I spoke up then. "You're right, we got lucky. This could have gone so much worse and you know what? If it had, we would have handled it. All of us. We would have taken care of each other and made it through. There is no way to prevent this. There is nothing we can do to stop bad things from happening, that's just life. Life is a bully sometimes but you have us now and always. Your friends and family. People who love you no matter what. We are how you can feel safe. Knowing that no matter what comes our way, we can deal with it, together. Look up. Look at them. They are our safety. They are our peace" I said and Layla looked up and saw everyone.

He couldn’t pinpoint exactly what but there was something about being in this place that was downright different. And lastly, confused because amidst feeling this, he felt a different sense of safety entirely. Like in one side of his body, he felt the animosity of the place, and on the other, he felt secure...brought up in heaven’s gate. Marcus couldn’t explain it, but it made him feel calm — quite a welcoming feeling in this kind of environment. ***

The sounds of the city around us faded into background noise. “We’re not done yet,” I whispered. “No,” he agreed, tightening his arms around me. “Not by a long shot.” “Don't ever do that again, you stubborn beautiful woman” he groaned “I'll do it hundred times over if it means you'll all be safe” He sighed and rubbed my back gently as I melted into his embrace ****

Stay safe and take care! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
