broken music box
i used to own an old music box
which i played from time to time
it lied next to a ticking clock
two together side by side
it had a nice but simple melody
sweet and creamy to be frank
like a warm cup of milk and honey
whenever i turned the crank
then one day it suddenly broke
before it was about to make a sound
its cracked oak
the pieces scattered all around
i tried to fix it
using nails or glue
but i was forced to admit
it was something I can no longer use
i bought a shiny and brand new music box
to be honest it wasn't really great
the song was different and it felt cold as a rock
compared to the old one it was pretty lame
so i picked up the splinters
held them tight
i was so sure
what i was doing was right
now i find it sickening
those words i wish i didn't say
yet the clock is still ticking
i cry and mourn over it all everyday
