Andy's Mints - Keepsake

Last night I had
An echo of a dream
A figure hid their face
A mask of velveteen
They handed me a box
And though I didn’t peek
I knew just what’s inside
said I’d keep it safe
My keepsake
—
Then the rain came down
Glittering the stones
A violet light was cast
And I was all alone
Shadowed claws reached out
Following me home
But nothing did they gain
Said I’d keep it safe
My keepsake
—
Gotta keep you safe
Gotta keep you safe
You keep me sane
—
When I awoke
The sky was bleeding strange
The sheets were damp and cool
My mind was rearranged
My fingers clasped around
An article of faith
I knew just what’s inside
said I’d keep it safe
My keepsake

"So many people in one small space
So much light and sound
All those eyes on you
And you can’t fade into the crowd
There’s a good head on your shoulders
But you’re feeling so much older
Than you thought you would
And you wanted this, you think
But your stomach twists and sinks more
Than you thought it should
Brand new lenses, soft boxes
Single syllable responses
Matte foundation, press powder
Little voices growing louder
Until he’s facing you
And you fold in two
Holding you close
On video
And it feels right
And you don’t mind
There forever
In digital
You’ll always stay
So safe this way
On video…
Years appear and slip away
Like friends you almost knew
City nights and former lives
Hide somewhere out of view
But every other summer
You might leave your world behind
To see the lake town diner
You can’t get out of your mind
You try not to spot him
While he runs the kitchen line
You hear him shouting, calling orders,
Keeping frantic time
There’s always just a moment
Where you finally catch his eye
And you meet him all over again
And it’s almost the way it was when
He was so strong
And you were so shy
And the feeling was perfect and new
When he was there with you
Folding you in two
Holding you close
On video
When it felt right
And you didn’t mind
Saved forever
In digital
You’ll always stay
So safe that way
Maybe now you’re all lived out
Maybe now you’re strong
And grew beyond the emptiness
That held on for so long
But in the quiet of your mind
It wouldn’t feel so wrong
Just for one more
One more song with your dance partner
Dance partner
Dance partner
One more song with your dance partner "
