Keep Me Lyrics - Knock On The Sky - Shedaisy

This can't really be what life is all about 

Learning how to live just to live without 

The travesty's the irony and the irony is you 

I've traded in my sanctity for a cheaper shade of blue 

And as I surrender to this sunken bed 

So afflicted by the tenant in my head 

Even now, I wonder how you lay her down to sleep 

When secretly I know it's my soul that you pray to keep 

But will you really keep me? 

Keep me on your porch, on your tongue 

Beating in your chest, or coming undone 

Folded neatly in the cover of your favorite book 

Keep me at a distance in your maze 

Fumbling through a contemplative haze, keep me 

Or tucked away clandestinely where no one else will look 

Where my broken sky reaches to your velvet sea 

Will you keep me? 

Drowning in the bottom of this empty glass 

I pray, God is good and that this too shall pass 

Then from the abyss maybe, I'll find a sweet reprieve 

When the echo of your kiss reminds me to believe 

That you'll always keep me 

Keep me under God or on your wall 

Behind closed doors forever after all 

Or headed south on the blacktop ribbon we designed 

Keep me, the mantle of integrity 

Investing in something, I'll never see 

Keep me at 30,000 feet or in the windows of your mind 

In a corner of your heart under lock and key 

Will you keep me? 

Traipsing on hallowed ground has brought a lifelong sentence 

Now living without your breath to fill my lungs will be my penance 

And even as I feel, I hope, you feel it just as deeply 

And even though you've let me go, say, "You'll always keep me" 

Say, "You'll always keep me" 

Keep me under God or on your wall 

Behind closed doors forever after all 

Or headed south on the blacktop ribbon we designed 

Keep me, the mantle of integrity 

Investing in something, I'll never see 

Keep me at 30,000 feet or in the windows of your mind 

In a corner of your heart under lock and key 

Will you keep me? 

The melody you misconstrue on the ocean crashing into you 

Or waiting for the man you'll never have the heart to be 

In the fervent strains of the tragic elegy 

Will you keep me, will you keep me, will you keep me?
