Mind In the Box

Something's hiding under your bed Inside your closet hides way your dread Hidden messages stuck inside your head Something ticking away your windup heart Feelings mixed, bitter and tart Everything sweet has rotten away Nothing keeping you up all day Feel your emotions take control Someday soon release the troll He hinds underneath your bed at night Giving sweet dreams the taste of fright Making your life an autopilot flight If you open up the crate you indeed inside your closet Perhaps someday you could forget Open up and share the earth Try to chance off the fearful curse It's called life, there's just open escape So find the key and free the monsters from the crate
