Locket

I can't keep you

Not in the part of my heart I hide away

I've been so far gone inside a cave

I can't even see the slightest light of day

It caught up to me

The crime I committed in Berlin

I can't seem to wash the sin off of my skin

Always something clawing at my shins

I've been on the run

Chasing shadows, eating nightmares in my eyes

Every whisper is a kiss of death from spies

I can't even let my face be recognized

I had to kill a man

There are some who know what that cold soul is like

In the end they said I did what I thought was right

I still think of you in the still, pale blue of the night

Stole my brother's gun

And when that song came on the radio, I wept

Lie awake in fear that something's caught my scent

Can't flip over the hourglass again

I can't keep you

Not in a locket or a pocket or a safe

When I ask myself if I have gone insane

Look away from the answer in the frame
