Keys To The Kingdom

(album: Duende - 2017)

She came inside so exhausted
Dropped the keys by the bed
Some where far away from here
Never hearing what is said
Dreaming of a better life
She'll get there if it kills her in the end
The keys to the kingdom
Shining just around the bend

He gives her everything she wanted
But she's forgotten what she needs
Comfort in the empty spaces
Filing up with luxury
She leaves him for another fool
One for you, two for me she counts
The keys to the kingdom
Cost enough to clean you out

Reflections in the mirror
Oh so jaded, oh so proud
She loves the keys
She thought she found
Now there gone, long gone, gone gone gone
Reflections in the mirror
Oh so jaded, oh so proud
She loves the keys
She thought she found

Standing on the highest mountain
Feeling small and all alone
Taking in the majesty
What she saw, we'll never know
Hollow as the wind she breathes
Stepping out she dreams of coming down
The keys to the kingdom
Weigh enough to make you drown

And now she's gone
Now she's gone
