lyrics

My chest is full of drawers, and deep inside
there's something moving back and forth
Open up what do I see but a hundred tiny boxes
under lock and key

It's an ordinary shame I'm picking apart
every little thing I say
I know its wrong but I can't help
I dig, I dig, I'm digging to find myself

Opened a box I'll tell you what was found
a little black bird, he made an awful sound
Each of his calls it had a rhyme
I raced for my pen to put em down in time

He sang it's five for silver, six for gold
You're looking for a secret, never to be told
Seven for the sorrows and eight for mirth
But in the darkness there will be a birth

Searching for my lost spool of thread
Lead me back to you, where I began


The deeper I let myself dig in
I started to feel I's wearing someone else's skin
Mother O' mother look and see
Your little baby boy what's become of me

I kept to myself every thing I'd seen
each tiny box, like a fever dream
I drove the nails and packed them in
Locked the drawers and never take them out again

Searching for my lost spool of thread
Lead me back to you, where I began
