lyrics

I prayed for you and there you are
Now that you're here - you won't go far
And if you go - you will run and tell
We can't have that - he won't do well

I stop and hear the floorboards creak
They tell me now that you ca't speak
I hear you there below the grain
Beneath the space removed from pain

There is a wooden box
Where Mr. Keepsake talks

He says to me
"No need to hurry take it slow"
He says to me
"Keep it all they're never know"
He says to me
"Now pick up the parts it's time to go"
He says to me
"Listen to me I"ll set you free"

You gave your heart to someone else
I put it right there on the shelf
Decaying with your wanting eyes
And ruby lips once spewing lies

You thought you had the best of me
But mister mister helped me see
The best kept secrets are the ones
Involving tape, blindfolds, and guns

There is a wooden box
Where Mr. Keepsake stalks

He says to me
"They don't understand you like I do"
He says to me
"They'll use you up when they are through"
He says to me
"There's nothing left out there for you"
He says to me
"Listen to me I"ll set you free"

And when they came to take me
Away from you - away from he
To send me to the scaffold high
I knew at once I had to die

They looked they looked into the box
But mister mister can't be caught
And here and hereI feel the knot
All alone again to hear him talk

He says to me
