Musicbox Lyrics

Musicbox lyrics

Life inside the musicbox 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 set all the bottle caps I own afloat

And it's 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 and take a gulp

And start to feel
mortality surround me

I close my eyes and think that I have found me

But life inside the musicbox ain't easy

The mallets hit

The gears
are always turning

And every one 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
