There's a black box inside my head And I can't spill what's within it Even if I wanted to, I couldn't 'Cause the insides cannot be lit CHORUS: Even if I pour my soul into a cup There's still some things that can never be seen Even if I wrote what's on my mind The inside of my head will never be clean 'Cause somewhere in me are my darkest thoughts I keep them safe in my black box None will ever know my deepest fears It tears me up, my insides sear There's a black box inside my mind My innermost secrets are what you'll find if you try to look inside, but you can't Because the box is a forbidden land CHORUS There she stands, she dominates my mind Said it a hundred times, I'll never unwind She drives me insane, if only she knew She owns my black box, and she doesn't have a clue
Okay, these are the first lyrics I ever wrote and finished. I'd tried my hand at it before, but I was thirteen and only listened to System Of A Down, which led to some weird-ass pseudo-political bullshit with clumsy metaphors. Didn't work too well. |
