The cardboard box in the attic is shaking In it you'll find a creature with no soul When you open the box and stare inside You'll find that it has stopped breathing The wall behind it is looking down Upon the rattling bundle of naked fear The creature's hairs stand on end In a rigid salute; no they won't bend The dust is thick and filmy here And no sound will ever reach your ear But its feral urge to avenge its fate Will not escape your wide-eyed state
A lifetime stuck in darkness Will turn the sun restless too So when the humans living downstairs Who are much worse than you Open the door to that ungodly world The creature will let out a silent scream And curse everything into oblivion The slightest show of rebellion Then a blink; the box resumes its shaking The smell of fear stops the monsters from waking And if by a mad whim, you come across our attic you'll see That this trembling creature is indeed me
