Keys to Paradise

It's a secret of the winners,that's why
I never got it
I come to find the saviorin your eyes
All my frozen wintersface the blame for the garden
At least I couldn't saythat
I triedFall apart at the softest setback of darkness
Dampen towers cry above to the highest liarsof them all
All my partial poemscome as painless filler
I may never be as strongas you'd like
But the way you look at meis such a silent killer
Hold me close and tell me
I'm all right
Up all night just thinkingof the ways to remain here
Born the silences that one timeheld the keys to paradise
I come runnin' down from heightsthat
I remember
Those were times
I treasuredlike a child
Lift this body upbecause
I know I'd better
And fall upon the groundwith a sigh
Little bandages add up to a coffin, babe
I get hopeful every time
I see you cracka little smile
