Music Box

I hear the rhythm Ticking like a clock On and on A door to unlock Aligned in repetition As light through a prism One by one Dancing in precision Timid going haywire Vivid discord desire Automated woodblock Dressed in pastel Spindle little gridlock In an ongoing carousel Brass spring Winding key Union of gears Speaks to me Release your inner sound Fall until there is no ground Elevate to evade this world Remind me that there is so much more Wound up and wound up tight Far distant redshift light Let it go and let it play Spin, dance, stay afloat Springs, Rivets, Nuts and Bolts Wind the box, play the notes Reap the tunes of dreams and hopes Make it stop, help me cope Be my musical antidote Kick the gears Engage the noise Rewind the key Before it destroys Cede the poison Filled with vanity Adjust your fears To keep your sanity Adjust your lies To prolong goodbyes Blind in one eye Ruled by your pride
