the box
shhh
come here
just a little closer
i have a secret to show you
but you already knew that
didn’t you?
no matter
i'll still show you
but you have to

come here
and promise to not tell a soul
we’ll dig it out of this
dusty, cobwebbed box
now don’t worry about me
i trust your intentions are good
i knew it when i first saw you
that curious innocence
dancing in your eyes

yes, i saw that as well
there’s a lot that i saw
things i could never tell you
but you already knew that, too
didn’t you?
no matter
my secret's the important thing

the box seems bottomless, i know
but please bear with me
oh, ignore that skeleton
we’ll just toss it aside
it’s only there to scare people
what, you’re not scared?
neither am i
at least not anymore

yes, there was a time
when the dark kept coming
but no longer
wait, there it is
the secret i wanted to show you
i realize it’s simple
only a mirror
yet if you hold it up
then you’ll understand
