Verse:
I have hundred keys to million locks
And none of them opens
this one certain box
Found it in the swamp where
everything rots
Took it home and it screams here,
I don't know when it stops
It haunts and poisons my dreams
Why don't I bury it
somewhere deep
I know it's not really mine to keep
Chorus:
Why don't I step away
from that guilt
That inside of me many long years
has been built
There is no gain that amounts
to this pain
There is no rain that would
tarnish this stain
It haunts and poisons my dreams
Now I've seen the waters burning
Now I've felt the sunshine lie
Now I know the tides are turning
Now I've heard the sirens sing
When I lay my head beside you
When my fingers
touch your rusted hings
Scent of mire makes my
eyes grow weary
And I caress your splintered skin
But now I know
what lies within you
I can see right through your lid
Now my vision's clear my
senses sharpened
Now I know what ills you bring
But when I lay my head
beside your peril
And my fingers
touch your rusted hings
Chorus:
Why don't I step…
That murky-bottomed swamp,
it breathes and talks
With dead and rotten oaks,
it breathes and talks
My poisonclouded mind,
it seethes and balks
And this one certain box,
it haunts and stalks
Why don't I bury it
somewhere deep
I know it's not really mine to keep
