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
