Jack In The Box

It's been seven years now, living in this box

Closed in on all sides, no light, just dark

He kept me under the bed, i'd pray for it to stop

He'd lock me safely away, and lie on top

Pop the latches open the hatches

Out comes jack in the box

Doing tricks and taking licks

Out comes jack in the box

I was an uncut marionette hanging by steel cable threads

I was a shadow dancer a thousand shades of red

There's too much light it's far too bright

I things much too clearly

There's too much light, it far too bright

Weary, oh so weary

If this is all of life outside

Please put me where i am happy

Where i won't know what to think of this

Black in black, almost sleeping

Pop the latches open the hatches, out comes jack in the box

Doing tricks and taking licks, out comes jack in the box

Please lock me up

Shut me up

Shut up your jack in the box
