Let me play my music box
The soft ****** carry you away
In the sweet security of a better time
Back before the days grew dark
And before the tears streamed down your face.

Take you to your hopes and dreams
Remembering how life crushed you
Now nothing but flesh and bone
What do you have left
But these few fragments clinging on

Why continue straining against the flow of time
Reaching for the past
Like it could save you from your future
The one that looks so bleak and alone
Throw it all away
And let me play my music box
Another one I'd found.
