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
