Pods - Big Black Box lyrics

rate me

Mean steel man halfway grinning<br />

Gave me a box didn't know what's in it<br />

Smooth and shiny big and tiny<br />

Didn't want to look inside<br />

WHY?<br />

Cos I was scared of what was gonna be there<br />

Maybe gonna see my soul too bare<br />

And if so I wanted to go<br />

Cos that's something I'd rather not know<br />

Mean steel man made me furious<br />

But I couldn't help being curious<br />

He knew I couldn't hold back<br />

It was my path<br />

He laughed<br />

CHORUS:<br />

You bought the big black box<br />

You threw your soul on the rocks<br />

You bought the big black box<br />

You bought the big black, big black BOX<br />

Something changed I rearranged<br />

Like this whole thing was preordained<br />

My heart shattered and animal matter<br />

Served to me my mind on a platter<br />

I lost it all inside the box<br />

Sittin there starin at the clock<br />

Watchin life from the beginning<br />

All it's worth all it's sinning<br />

As it's hopeless people fell<br />

I turned my back what the hell<br />

Like all my ancestors through time<br />

In self and ignorance our common crime<br />

CHORUS<br />

Now I spend my nights trying to forget<br />

The things I saw I regret<br />

Goin forward never tell<br />

Let the others fend for themselves<br />

Demons' eyes pass me by<br />

Piercin through on either side<br />

I'll let it slide let it die<br />

Lift my sights up to the sky<br />

The pain has fallen to another<br />

Who has yet to discover<br />

A big black box sittin on a shelf<br />

A mean steel man inside himself<br />

CHORUS
