Lyrics

Keepsake

Don't fall.
And I'll catch you on the outside

But you called.
And don't tell me that you want back in.

Keeping it a secret
And my shame could never come out of the hell I left it in.
Keep it for keepsake now.

Even if you knew my face,
(Come see my unfolding)
Would it still keep you away?
(Barely even know me)
There's an empty part of me
Numb to the taste
(Come see my unfolding)
See harmony.

Unfold.
And don't catch me on the outside

Cause I'm numb.
And don't tell me that you want back in.

Keeping all my distance.
It's strange though I'm still proud of the hell that I left it in.
Keep it for keepsake now.

Shaken, you let me see the way I was affecting the
Image I had up in my head,
There's no caution pestering me.

I see you out in the fields laughing
Surrounded by all the green, ghastly sunset.
All you wanted was to chase its shiny gleam.

Paint a portrait of this scene
That is acting out a dream.

Withered spirits,
Hallelujah,
I've discovered everything.

Even if you knew my face,
(Come see my unfolding)
Would it still keep you away?
(Barely even know me)
There's an empty part of me
Numb to the taste
(Come see my unfolding)
See harmony.
See harmony.
See harmony.
See harmony.
See harmony.
