This is the first single from the upcoming LP 'The Stronghold' by Trenton New Jerseys, The Cryptkeeper Five.


"1,000 KEYS"

i hear the jingle
like a siren, they scream
1,000 keys 
on my fathers ring
i feel a sting 
i've got electric bones
crawl to the back
of my childhood home
i'd bust open the door
and i'd run

run to the woods 
where no one is clean
we weren't lost boys
we were brave mighty kings
soldiers of fortune
in unfortunate ways
we are animals 
we are thieves
with nothing to prove
and we prove it well
to no one
and we'd run
and we'd run

take a cold deep breath and exhale
see your hair stand on it's edge

i feel a sting
i've got electric bones
i see a darkness
that consumes and grows
my hearts afire
i got fuel to burn
and it burns and it burns and it burns

run to the woods
hand in hand
run to the woods
run as fast as you can
run to the woods
to our sacred place
on our knees and we're safe
are we safe?
