lyrics

BOX OF BELLS (feat. The Paper Choir)
(music / lyrics: Thom Kunz)

Seconds ticking out of line,
Shatter every crack in time.
This treason within you.

Minutes stir the urge inside,
Love and logic cast aside
No reason to continue.

It strips away your right to choose,
Sends you on a path to lose,
And never finds a way to compromise.

So bleed another vacant thrill,
Feed another sleeping pill,
A fabrication of someone else.

This box of bells is getting loud.
I hear it ring above the clouds.
It’s making me a mess.
I want to be myself again.

Mornings’ fractured, twisted game.
Voices in this paper brain.
And the greyest days all elapse.

The evenings knocking on your door.
The devil’s creeping on your floor,
Just waiting for your last collapse.

When you’re incarcerated in your skin
When each perfect day
Is a perfect sin.
And no one waiting to say goodbye.

But if you reach inside
Your darkest hour
Where the demons hide your will
To empower the grace
That makes yourself forgive,

This box of bells is getting loud.

This box of bells is getting loud.
I hear it ring above the clouds.
It’s making me a mess.
I want to be myself again.

I want to be myself again

I want to cut you from my heart.
I want to find the means to stop.
I want to play this ‘til the end.
I want to be myself again.

I want to tear you from my heart.
I want the chance for a better start.
I want a place where I can’t pretend.
I want to be myself again.
