Tim King - Keepsake

I fold my hands
But I don't know how to pray
To be thankful
And sorry at the same time
For twenty years
Can't imagine why you stay
But I'm grateful
Our innocence has long died
I take these pills
Just to keep my head on straight
I'm a doldrum
Canary down a coal mine
For twenty years
All the bullshit disarray
I can promise
We'll finally see the sunshine
Let me be your keepsake
Just a fable of imagination
Drifting in your dreamscape
Locked inside your heart
Forever waiting
You are so much more
Than you give yourself credit for
So hold my hands
As my body starts to shake
From the panic
That's coursing through a frail mind
For countless years
And the demons that I chased
They'll just all be
A joke without a punchline
We'll burn 'em down tonight
Let me be your keepsake
Just a fable of imagination
Drifting in your dreamscape
Locked inside your heart
Forever waiting
You are so much more
Than you give yourself credit for
Or maybe you know that
And playing your cards close to your chest
It's always hard to tell
You hide the pain and paint a smile so well
I think if I look back
I'd change a few things, but not the rest
You know I'd never sell
The times we went through heaven and through hell
Let me be your keepsake
Just a fable of imagination
Drifting in your dreamscape
Locked inside your heart
Forever waiting
Let me be your keepsake
Just a fable of imagination
Drifting in your dreamscape
Locked inside your heart
Forever waiting
