Gatekeeper Lyrics by Newdles

L’Abri

2023

[Verse 1]
Prostrate before you, my drool could rinse your feet
It’s I in the wrong, your sinless majesty
Will I never pass through the holy gate you keep?
I’d kill the purest to keep you in my reach

That’s not what I want
That’s not what I want

[Verse 2]
I owe you death threats and much apology
In your presence, my age reverts to thirteen
What test did I fail or standard I not meet?
If I meant so less to you, was I not worth telling?
I wanted to be yours
You wanted company

Have mercy, I need to hear you speak
If I’m disowned, I am my own latchkey
What is my role and your boundaries?
Is there healing? I’m looking to your lead

It’s not worth that much
It’s not worth that much

[Verse 3]
Whеn I can’t give up hope, what does it say of mе?
Who bears the mender’s responsibility?
We’ve no relation, you’re just substance to eat
I don’t know what’s you and what I’m projecting
Isn’t slavery the most romantic thing?

I can’t do that much
This obsessive fan love
Is a direct product of
My grotesque lack of
Self-respect and gratuitous
Attachment issues
I’m more than just you
You’re not my passage rites
To the next chapter of life
Nor my master
But what if it’s my fault?

[Outro]
Is this all we are-- worshipers and gods?
No one, no one has what I want
Maybe heroes weren't meant to meet
I won't run home and you won't run to me
