Keeper Of My Heart Lyrics

For you I would tattoo me
With lines crossin' into a hand
And a heart that would never bleed
With the twilight and the horse drawn on my arm
Standing for an addiction, pray we go unharmed

Here is my love and anger
You see now, these are my Gods
These are my scars
Here is, here is my love and anger
Well, these arms are burnin' but they're open wide

Some things I hold too tightly
Some things I'll never, I'll never touch
Oh, but I'm wearing down the stones in the river
And you see all my life I painted with anger's brush

Now, now could you lift me through my love and anger
You see now, these are your Gods
These are my scars
Lift me through my love and anger
Oh, and my arms are burnin' but they're open wide

Oh, you precious kid, kid
I have a motion, and it's just for you
I see a warrior, barefoot and dancin'
Oh, with tears of pain and beauty, and all of this is true

For you, lift me through my love and anger
You see now, these are my Gods
These are your scars
Lift me, through my love and anger
Oh, and my arms are burnin' and they're open wide

Pointing out the graveyards I will be the reaper
If you will be the keeper of my heart
I will be the reaper if you will be the keeper
You are the keeper of this heart, of my heart
