Keys to the Kingdom
Written by Gordy Quist and Scott Davis

She came inside so exhausted
Dropped her keys by the bed
Somewhere far away from here
Never hearing what she says
Dreaming of a better life
She'll get there if it kills her in the end
The keys to the kingdom
Shining just around the bend

He gives her everything she wanted
But she's forgotten what she needs
Comfort is the empty spaces
Filling up with luxury
She leaves him for another fool
"I for you, 2 for me" she counts
The keys to the kingdom
Cost enough to clean you out

Reflections in the mirror
Oh so jaded, oh so proud
She lost the keys
She thought she found
And now they're gone, long gone,
Gone gone gone

Reflections in the mirror
Oh so jaded, oh so proud
She lost the keys
She thought she found

Standing on the highest mountain
Feeling small and all alone
Talking in the majesty
What she saw we'll never know
Hollow as the wind she breathes
Stepping out the dreams of coming down
The keys to the kingdom
Weigh enough to make you drown
