No Danger, No Comfort

from Trigger Warning by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

The smell of Queensland is a trigger, my Step-Dad was a cop
I’d lock the door he’d beat it down, once he starts he won’t stop
For the cattle trucks as an activist now I lay my body down
There’s still danger in the air now but it don’t smell like betrayal “

CHORUS
No danger no comfort
Until I can be sure
No danger no comfort
I keep going back for more

When I was in gaol I felt safe, there’s a team out raising bail
But I lock the door when I got home like the cops r on my trail
I got nothing left to give; don’t let me fall apart
If I could get out of bed in the morning I will not be a martyr

CHORUS

Bridge
Like the feeling of helplessness in the animals eyes
It’s a feeling of helplessness I recognise

At an animal rescue centre I volunteer when I can
I lock the door when I leave at night, take comfort in my actions
A livestock truck goes past, I hear a million screams
When I smell meat it’s not just murder but the cruelty that you feed on

CHORUS

Bridge

(No voice no choice) I keep going back for more
