Keepsake by Tim King Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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
Like a doldrum
Canary down a coal mine
For twenty years
All the bullshit disarray
I can promise
We’ll finally see the sunshine

[Chorus]
Let me be your keepsake
Just a fable of imagination
Drifting in your dreamscape
Locked inside your heart
Forever waiting

[Post-Chorus]

You are so much more
Than you give yourself credit for

[Verse 2]

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 them down tonight

[Chorus]

Let me be your keepsake
Just a fable of imagination
Drifting in your dreamscape
Locked inside your heart
Forever waiting
[Post-Chorus]

You are so much more
Than you give yourself credit for

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
