Big Black Box Lyrics - Singles - Pods

Mean steel man halfway grinning 

Gave me a box didn't know what's in it 

Smooth and shiny big and tiny 

Didn't want to look inside 

WHY? 

Cos I was scared of what was gonna be there 

Maybe gonna see my soul too bare 

And if so I wanted to go 

Cos that's something I'd rather not know 

Mean steel man made me furious 

But I couldn't help being curious 

He knew I couldn't hold back 

It was my path 

He laughed 

CHORUS: 

You bought the big black box 

You threw your soul on the rocks 

You bought the big black box 

You bought the big black, big black BOX 

Something changed I rearranged 

Like this whole thing was preordained 

My heart shattered and animal matter 

Served to me my mind on a platter 

I lost it all inside the box 

Sittin there starin at the clock 

Watchin life from the beginning 

All its worth all its sinning 

As its hopeless people fell 

I turned my back what the hell 

Like all my ancestors through time 

In self and ignorance our common crime 

CHORUS 

Now I spend my nights trying to forget 

The things I saw I regret 

Goin forward never tell 

Let the others fend for themselves 

Demons' eyes pass me by 

Piercin through on either side 

I'll let it slide let it die 

Lift my sights up to the sky 

The pain has fallen to another 

Who has yet to discover 

A big black box sittin on a shelf 

A mean steel man inside himself 

CHORUS
