Keep

Let's keep my darkness in the attic
Keep my distance in the corners
Let's keep up this silence
Keep these battlements between us

My ship is sinking, capsizing in you
You're pulling me under
I could never breath the same
You could never be the same

Let's keep up this dangerous game
Keep up this intriguing gamble
Let's keep my disobedience under the table
Keep my carelessness for special occasions

You've got me right where you want me
Or so it would seem
What you've failed to realize is that
I placed myself here and lied, waiting

Let's keep my discontent in the bathtub
Keep my dried tears in a jar
Let's keep striving to succeed
Keep pretending its possible

Our entanglement keeps getting messier
Trapping us both in its heavy bind
I never planned on staying
But now you can not leave

Let's keep our eyes wide shut
Keep the tables turned
Let's keep my distaste on the bookcase
Keep my cynicism with the china

Everything is so misconstrued
Nothing to be taken at face value
At least of one thing I am certain
I should have figured it out long before
