Keep Me Songtext
von SHeDAISY

This can′t really be
What life is all about
Learning how to live
Just to live without
The travesty's the irony
And the irony is you
I′ve traded in my sanctity
For a cheaper shade of blue

And as I surrender
To the sunken bed
A soul afflicted by
The tenon in my head
Even now I wonder how
You lay her down to sleep
When secretly I know it's my soul
That you pray to keep


But will you really keep me
On your porch or on your tongue
Beating in your chest coming undone
Or folded neatly in the cover
Of your favorite book

At a distance in your maze
Or fumbling through a contemplative haze
Or tucked away clandestinely
Where no one else will look
Where my broken sky
Reaches to your velvet sea
Will you keep me

Will you keep me

Drowning in the bottom
Of this empty glass
I pray God is good
And that this too shall pass
Then from the abyss maybe
I'll find a sweet reprieve
When the echo of your kiss
Reminds me to believe


That you′ll always keep me
Under God or on your wall
Behind closed doors forever after all
Or headed south on the blacktop
Riven with desire

Your mantle of integrity
Investing in something I′ll never see
At thirty thousand feet
Or in the windows of your mind
In the corner of your heart
Under lock and key

Will you keep me
Will you keep me

Traipsing on hallowed ground

Has brought lifelong silence
Now living without your breath
To fill my lungs will be my penance
And even as I feel I hope you
Feel it just as deeply
And even though you've let me go
Say you′ll always keep me

Say you'll always keep me
The melody you misconstrue
Or on the ocean crashing into you
Or waiting for the man you′ll never
Have the heart to be
In the curving strains
Of this tragic elegy

Will you keep me
Will you keep me

Oh, oh, will you keep me
Will you keep me
