You stole that line of scripture
And drew it 'round my silhouette
Negating all the spaces
In my rhythms of breath
You took my heavy handed
And drew it like a cigarette
But here's an absolution
Indiscreet, without illusion
You can't keep
What you once called your valley
What you once called yours
You can't keep, can't keep
What you once called yours
Serenity is shifting
Unintended salvific current
Wrestling the alchemy
Like I didn't want it
Yet in that solace instant
To validate above the water
Hope raptured in ivy
And its all that's standing still
You can't keep
What you once called your valley
What you once called yours
You can't keep, can't keep
What you once called yours
Under cover of lighthearted
I recognize the glances
So I breathe aside discretion
But am I
Just seeing my existence
As somewhere in between
You can't keep
What you once called your valley
What you once called yours
You can't keep, can't keep
What you once called yours
