Keep It Out - Half Waif

If everybody is searching for the same shelter

Why does anyone think it’s theirs to know?

Collective bodies so hungry for the touch of a stranger

Magic contact, believe you’re not alone

Keep it out, keep it in

I’ll keep you out, so you never see me unraveling

We seek to settle, we make a home

It’s fun for a little, but soon it’s old

And so it withers like all the rest

Till we’re sleeping like strangers

On the opposite sides of the bed

Keep it out, keep it in

I’ll keep you out, so you never see me unraveling

You want all the promises made

But I don’t have the energy to suffice

Watch me while I disengage

You might even feel nice
