"Keep Me Safe" written by Jared Strayer

Just a man put out to pasture
Broken dreams and life's regrets
Ain't no one could dig holes faster
Chasin' Jim Beam with cigarettes
All these troubles that I shoulder
Gettin' older all the while
Puttin' miles on my car
Puttin' effort in a smile
Broken words slip out like nothing
Without truth there's nothin' left
Like a shadow made for bluffin'
And promises never kept
The devil's gettin' close
But he ain't quite in my head just yet

Fallin' asleep at night's gettin' harder by the day
I can't rest for one second, lie here wide awake
And I toss and I turn, let all my ashes burn
But darlin' - won't you keep me safe?
Darlin' - won't you keep me safe?

A mirror can be so ugly
Strangle every piece that you have left
Til' a doctor throws you pills
Now you ain't depressed
But it just masked the problem
Move around like walking dead
And forget
You forget

Fallin' asleep at night's gettin' harder by the day
I can't rest for one second, lie here wide awake
And I toss and I turn, let all my ashes burn
But darlin' - won't you keep me safe?
Darlin' - won't you keep me safe?

Fallin' asleep at night's gettin' harder by the day
I can't rest for one second, lie here wide awake
And I toss and I turn, let all my ashes burn
But darlin' - won't you keep me safe?
Darlin' - won't you keep me safe?
Darlin' - won't you keep me safe?
Darlin' - won't you keep me safe?
