Musicbox

Life inside the music box ain't easy.

The mallets hit the gears are always turning,

and everyone inside the mechanism is yearning to get out.

And sing another melody completely.

So different from the one they're always singing.

I close my eyes and think that i have found me,

but then I feel mortality surround me.

I want to sing another melody.

so different from the one I always sing.

But when I do the dishes

I run the water very, very, very hot.

And then I fill the sink to the top with bubbles of soap

And then I send all the bottle caps I own a float

And its the greatest voyage in the history of plastic

And then I slip my hands in and start to make waves

And then I dip my tongue in and take a taste

It tastes like soap but it doesn't really taste like soap

and then I lower in my whole mouth in and take a gulp

and start to feel mortality surround me

I close my eyes and think I've found me

but life inside the music box ain't easy

the mallets hit the gears are always turning

and everyone inside the mechanism

is yearning, to get out

and sing another melody completely

is yearning, to get out

is yearning, to get out

is yearning, to get out
