The Bookkeeper

need a new story

need a life

need to change your chapters

its what really matters

so change your words to numbers

and change all of your clothes

looking to change your soul

ignore your past goal

don’t need to have meaning

this history you’re cleaning

a clearer picture so you don’t stumble

while you’re learning to be humble

it wont be complete

you’re still oblique

you can’t hide what you are

underneath you still have scars

they’re still burning/shining from afar

oh bookkeeper

you can’t hide what you are

underneath you still have scars

you catch the eye from afar

oh bookkeeper

still stuck staring

the pages wont change until you make them

you know the ink stains wont wash away

and its not the first time

trying to rewrite the lines

on the author I’ll pin the blame

guess I’m not such an open book

its such a shame

its enough to tear out all the hooks

of the lines you once took

scarcely held together by your spine

the pages pulling from the bind

it wont be complete

you need to rip the sheet

you can’t hide what you are

underneath you still have scars

they’re still burning/shining from afar

oh bookkeeper

you can’t hide what you are

underneath you still have scars

you catch the eye from afar

oh bookkeeper
