lyrics
Kept.
I'm Kept within these walls as silent as a promise,
That's dragged from lovers cold,
And nestled in her fine dress,
We count the lives we've held,
As one by one we drink to the arms we've left.
I could have been a god if only they existed,
A conqueror of old that's kind to the defeated,
But Kept within these walls with songs that love to drink,
To the battles lost.
So we steal time from,
Every wishing bottle gone,
But time says it's only a lend,
The break that never mends.
I'm Kept within these sands that fall between your fingers,
The seconds in the glass that peacefully remember,
The moment in your eyes,
That promise more than days of troubled skies.
So we steal time from every wishing bottle gone,
But time says it's only a lend,
The break that never mends.
I'm Kept within these walls as silent as the empties,
That rest upon the floor and rest is over-rated,
The mysteries they held, have long ago been plucked,
And swallowed whole...
I'm Kept within these walls as silent as a promise,
That's dragged from lovers cold,
And nestled in her fine dress,
We count the lives we've held,
As one by one we drink to the arms we've left.
I could have been a god if only they existed,
A conqueror of old that's kind to the defeated,
But Kept within these walls with songs that love to drink,
To the battles lost.
So we steal time from,
Every wishing bottle gone,
But time says it's only a lend,
The break that never mends.
I'm Kept within these sands that fall between your fingers,
The seconds in the glass that peacefully remember,
The moment in your eyes,
That promise more than days of troubled skies.
So we steal time from every wishing bottle gone,
But time says it's only a lend,
The break that never mends.
I'm Kept within these walls as silent as the empties,
That rest upon the floor and rest is over-rated,
The mysteries they held, have long ago been plucked,
And swallowed whole...
