A Box Unopened Lyrics

There's a box of dreams

On a shelf in the back room

It holds my old skin wrapped up

In my inner tomb

I set fire to my past with these pages lit with matches

To tattoo all I knew on my back with these ashes

There's a kid in the backroom watching the sparks fly

I locked them away with hope in their eyes

I threw them in that box with every hope and dream I left behind

In them rests the best of me, and I only took my lies

All the things I can't know

All the pain I couldn't show

All the moments when I couldn't say a thing

I got blood on my hands

I cut down my fellow man

All I can do is to open my mouth to sing

I'm rebuilding what was burned

I'm relearning how to live with the hurt

I'm walking back to that moment when it turned

I'm moving on, growing up like water to the ferns

Here I am

There I go

Though no one

Really knows

I'm safe now

Here I am and there I go

No one really sees

Who I was then
