lyrics

1,000 KEYS

i hear a jingle
like a siren they scream
one thousand keys on my father’s ring
i feel a sting
i’ve got electric bones
crawl to the back of my childhood home
i bust open the door & i run
run to the woods
where no one is clean
we weren’t lost boys
we were brave, mighty kings
soldiers of fortune
in unfortunate ways
we are animals
we are thieves
nothing to prove
& we prove it wellto no one & we run & we run
& we’d run
take a cold, deep breath & exhale
see your hair stand on its edge
i feel a sting
i’ve got electric bones
i see a darkness that consumes & grows
my heart’s afire
i’ve got fuel to burn
& it burns & it burns & it burns
run to the woods - hand in hand
run to the woods - run as fast as we can
run to the woods - to our sacred place
on our knees and we’re safe
are we safe?
