The Box in the Attic

It was a cold hard winter He found a box in the attic Inside were times much simpler He caught a glimpse through the static Press play on a memory Frozen in time like a figurine Fell head first into a dream A broken heart, a tragedy Please don't go away, away, don't leave me here! I need you to say, to say have no fear You said you'd come back, but all this time I've been alone Just stay a minute longer can't do this on my own It was a springtime season He found the box in the attic The search of rhyme or reason Thawed ribbons and plastic A magnetic memory A voice in high fidelity Analog signal time machine A captive held eternally Please don't go away, away, don't leave me here! I need you to say, to say have no fear You said you'd come back, but all this time I've been alone Just stay a minute longer can't do this on my own I see a kid with his heart on his sleeve and he lives in a land full of make believe And he thinks all he needs is to find the key "does anybody out there really love me?" He wanders all alone in his own story "Is there anybody out there who even loves me?" It was the summer season no box in the attic A new tale to believe in A life freed from the static Erase broken memories Submerged in time like a submarine Projected phase and frequency Brought to life inside a screen Please don't go away, away, don't leave me here! I need you to say, to say have no fear You said you'd come back, but all this time I've been alone Just stay a minute longer can't do this on my own
