Lyrics

Keeper

She wears her skin on the inside
Calloused to everything she feels
She needs a cause to justify
The little way she breathes
Breath, a sigh... the constant
Way she dies

She's too dangerous for her head
Mistook fear for being dead
Wish the stars could shine into
The chasm keeper holds
Dreamt they fell into the sea
Bouyed there on mercury
Waves of dry light held her there
Then left her when I woke

Keeper lets her see the want
Out of reach but still to taunt
Wouldn't play this evil game
With no carrot to her name
Second guess the saving grace
Guess she doubts if it's her face
Better ask somebody else
Cause keeper holds the key

She wears her skin on the inside
Calloused to everything she feels
She needs a cause to justify
The little way she breathes
Breath, a sigh... the constant
Way she dies

She's too dangerous for her heart
Gives away before she starts
Talk is cheap and cheaper still
Is dreaming's little pill
Worry mantras fill her bones
Torment heros in their homes
Make them want to hide beneath
The keeper's shelter wing

She wears her skin on the inside
Calloused to everything she feels
She needs a cause to justify
The little way she breathes
Breath, a sigh... the constant
Way she dies

Too dangerous for her little pill
Too dangerous for her little will
Too dangerous for keeper to say she can come, come out and play
Too dangerous for her little pill
Too dangerous for her little will
Too dangerous for keeper to say she can come, come out and play

Do wits fall out like stands of hair?
Receding youth to leave her bare
Exposing all the pennies tossed
And tarnished wishing well
