The Box (version 2)

My Original Adapted
for @eliza

The Box is quiet
The Box is still
The Box awaits a victim behind the shop till

The Box is powerful
The Box is dark
The Box comes with a health warning, it really is quite stark

This is no Box of Delights
Nor Pandora's gift from Zeus
This box will consume your being, your lungs it will abuse

To resist temptation you must walk on by
But the weak will be drawn to its knowing eye

The Box is quiet
The Box is still
The Box is coming for you, open it, it has the power to kill.

The man with the shifty eyes, Sitting in the corner, Hidden within the shadows, A strange, distant foreigner.

Cold In Every Way

Cold, cruel heart, Made of ice, Her cruelty, Would not suffice. Cold, cruel voice, Making you shiver, You can't control, Your terrified quiver.

Fear

All the children... run away All the children... go and play When the night is risen high Sleeping beds and moon is nigh That's when I am here to stay.

Watch

Watch for her. The one with the eyes. As she draws you in. With those midnight sighs. Watch for her. When you're there she'll moan. Think you know her. You won't be alone. Watch for her.

Gone

Started out perfect, then the poison set in. I feel no shame In my twisted mind games I'm beyond what passes for sane My soul is past that kind of pain. Reality is a fantasy now.
