THE BOX ©Angry Johnny And The Killbillies
Bonesaw Lullaby BMI

I visited the box the other day
The box that I keep hidden far away
The box that keeps my memories at bay
The box where all my darkest secrets lay

The place I go to kneel down and pray
And wail till the demons go away
The box that I keep covered up with clay
The last place that I kissed you on that day

The box where all my favorite things are saved
The things that I have rescued from their graves
The love that was rejected that I gave
The box I wanted you to share with me

The box where everything comes to it’s end
The box that is my only real friend
The only place on this earth I contend
The only place that I can ever really feel alive

The owls are the only sound out here
The owls and the screaming in my ears
The box that holds a thousand bloody tears
The box that no one else could ever understand

I wail and I pound my bloody fists
The blood spews from the slices in my wrists
And nevermore I’ll taste your sweet sweet kiss
The box cannot bring back the things I miss

My praying and my wailing grows and grows
Does anybody hear it I don’t know
I beg God and Old Scratch to let me go
But they’re having too much fun making this wretched puppet dance

I will take a week to let my body heal
And then I will return with much more zeal
The next time that I bow my head and kneel
Then no one will be able to ignore my final sacrifice

They will whisper of it now for generations
They will read the trees I’ve carved with incantations
When they open up the box Their souls will shiver
And I will haunt their broken hearts until forever

I get on with my days
In a permanent haze
People think it’s a phase
But my madness is growing…
