Mr. Keepsake

歌詞

I prayed for you and there you are Now that you're here - you won't go far And if you go - you will run and tell We can't have that - he won't do well I stop and hear the floorboards creak They tell me now that you ca't speak I hear you there below the grain Beneath the space removed from pain There is a wooden box Where Mr. Keepsake talks He says to me "No need to hurry take it slow" He says to me "Keep it all they're never know" He says to me "Now pick up the parts it's time to go" He says to me "Listen to me I"ll set you free" You gave your heart to someone else I put it right there on the shelf Decaying with your wanting eyes And ruby lips once spewing lies You thought you had the best of me But mister mister helped me see The best kept secrets are the ones Involving tape, blindfolds, and guns There is a wooden box Where Mr. Keepsake stalks He says to me "They don't understand you like I do" He says to me "They'll use you up when they are through" He says to me "There's nothing left out there for you" He says to me "Listen to me I"ll set you free" And when they came to take me Away from you - away from he To send me to the scaffold high I knew at once I had to die They looked they looked into the box But mister mister can't be caught And here and hereI feel the knot All alone again to hear him talk He says to me
