Big Black Box lyrics

Mean steel man halfway grinning
Gave me a box didn`t know what`s in it
Smooth and shiny big and tiny
Didn`t want to look inside
WHY?
Cos I was scared of what was gonna be there
Maybe gonna see my soul too bare
And if so I wanted to go
Cos that`s something I`d rather not know
Mean steel man made me furious
But I couldn`t help being curious
He knew I couldn`t hold back
It was my path
He laughed

CHORUS:
You bought the big black box
You threw your soul on the rocks
You bought the big black box
You bought the big black, big black BOX

Something changed I rearranged
Like this whole thing was preordained
My heart shattered and animal matter
Served to me my mind on a platter
I lost it all inside the box
Sittin there starin at the clock
Watchin life from the beginning
All its worth all its sinning
As its hopeless people fell
I turned my back what the hell
Like all my ancestors through time
In self and ignorance our common crime

CHORUS

Now I spend my nights trying to forget
The things I saw I regret
Goin forward never tell
Let the others fend for themselves
Demons` eyes pass me by
Piercin through on either side
I`ll let it slide let it die
Lift my sights up to the sky
The pain has fallen to another
Who has yet to discover
A big black box sittin on a shelf
A mean steel man inside himself

CHORUS
