LOCKET from MIRRORS ii by Moondog Rivers

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
