"Pandora"

You Shriek

Pandora lies awake with her eyes on the box

She never looks away

She stares and loses time

She beats her fists on the shiny black lid

No noise from within

It lies there quiet

And still she never leaves the room

Her curtains are drawn

Gonna close my eyes 'cause I never want to see it

And I'd nail it shut but I wouldn't want to lose it

I can shut myself out like you strap yourself in

'cause I know

I know I couldn't be that strong

I know I couldn't be that strong

I know I'll never be that strong

You could reach for the sun and melt into the clouds

That pass away now

Into the night

Spirits spilling out the doors

And through the cracks

I'm waiting

It isn't curiosity or ignorance or

Cherry lips or stinking whores that drive me

To pull out the nails and

Open the doors

Pandora...

She beats her fists on the shiny black lid

No noise from within it

Lies there quiet and still

Can't you see why I can't lick or breathe

Or think or bleed or laugh or fight

And I know I'm drowning

I know I'm drowning

Gonna close my eyes 'cause I never want to see it

And I'd nail it shut but I wouldn't want to lose it

I can shut myself out like you strap yourself in

'cause I know I couldn't be that strong

Pandora...
