Keepers
There are smells that can fill my head till it spills
Memories out like wet cement
I can place where they're from and what I had done
With or without my intent
But words now spill out of me without my consent
When all I want is to tell the one I once held
Before they level and set
O! take me back to a time
That brings me back from this endlessness
That I feel all around and in me
Even when I close my eyes
There's an air that drifts in where nothing else has been
And I cannot turn my back to
Then two figures come to sit in this room dimly lit
And I don't know what I can do
When I feel their beckoning without touch or sound
Until I lay on my own without a will or milestone
Keeping me from passing through
O! take me back to a time
That brings me back from this endlessness
That I feel all around and in me
Even when I close my eyes
All the guardians of time, all the keepers of souls
Stand with arms linked in a row
Without a wherewithal; there's no reason at all
That keeps them from letting me go
Still they keep me from letting go
They keep me from letting go
Memories out like wet cement
I can place where they're from and what I had done
With or without my intent
But words now spill out of me without my consent
When all I want is to tell the one I once held
Before they level and set
O! take me back to a time
That brings me back from this endlessness
That I feel all around and in me
Even when I close my eyes
There's an air that drifts in where nothing else has been
And I cannot turn my back to
Then two figures come to sit in this room dimly lit
And I don't know what I can do
When I feel their beckoning without touch or sound
Until I lay on my own without a will or milestone
Keeping me from passing through
O! take me back to a time
That brings me back from this endlessness
That I feel all around and in me
Even when I close my eyes
All the guardians of time, all the keepers of souls
Stand with arms linked in a row
Without a wherewithal; there's no reason at all
That keeps them from letting me go
Still they keep me from letting go
They keep me from letting go
