Keys to Paradise

It's a 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 Dampen towers cry above to the highest liars of them all 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 is such a silent killer Hold me close and tell me I'm all right Up all night just thinking of the ways to remain here Born the silences that one time held the keys to paradise I come runnin' down from heights that I remember Those were times I treasured like a child Lift this body up because I know I'd better And fall upon the ground with a sigh Little bandages add up to a coffin, babe I get hopeful every time I see you crack a little smile
