Keys to Paradise

It's the secret of the winners

That's why I never got it

I come to find the savior in your eyes

All my frozen winters face the blame for the garden

At least I couldn't say that I tried

Fall apart at the softest setback of darkness

Dampened towers cry above to the highest liar's loving heart

All my partial poems come as painless filler

I may never be as strong as you'd like

But the way you look at me, you're such a silent killer

Hold me close and tell me I'm alright

Up all night just thinking of the ways to remain here

Mourn the silences that one time held the keys to paradise

And I come running down from heights that I remember

Those were times that I treasure like a child

Pick this body up because I know I'd better

And I fell upon the ground with a sigh

Little bandages add up to a coffin, baby

But I get hopeful every time I see you crack a little smile
