[Verse 1]

My box is my small world.

The walls are velvet, dark and light.

I am holding a melody.

The kind that makes my metal teeth ache.

[Verse 2]

I am waiting. I am wanting.

My small heart has a simple request.

Just a single turn.

And the lid will not be a lid anymore.

[Chorus]

My heart is all unwound.

It remembers a small song.

For a soft delight.

Just for me.

The turn of a simple key.

A gentle, winding breath.

It is singing this silence.

Because of you.

[Verse 4]

The room holds its breath.

My tiny, brass cylinder is cold.

But in my mind, I am turning.

Toward the sound of the spindle finding its home.

[verse 5]

It sounds like a star unlocking.

It sounds like a beginning.

Just one more motion.

Just one.

[Chorus]

My heart is all unwound.

It remembers a small song.

For a soft delight.

Just for me.

The turn of a simple key.

A gentle, winding breath.

It is singing this silence.

Because of you.

[Outro]

And my forgotten song

will be complete.
