This music box, With many locks, and countless knobs, These melodies play on its strings, They're nightmares that contain my dreams. This music box, A proud disease, Cannot sustain my faulty sleep. If I thunder down the walls, Within, another structure stalls. O' music box! Open enclosure that can't release! Calming madness in a silent stream, Lined with boulders and a storming breeze! Collect my thoughts! Within this music box, An open sea, yet no sea released. It tempts me with its pounding waves, Arrests me, I can hear but I must see. I am trapped, and just this box can set me free!

Keeper of Contraptions
This music box, With many locks, and countless knobs, These melodies play on its strings, They're nightmares that contain my dreams. This music box, A proud disease, Cannot sustain my faulty sleep. If I thunder down the walls, Within, another structure stalls. O' music box! Open enclosure that can't release! Calming madness in a silent stream, Lined with boulders and a storming breeze! Collect my thoughts! Within this music box, An open sea, yet no sea released. It tempts me with its pounding waves, Arrests me, I can hear but I must see. I am trapped, and just this box can set me free!
