Record Tracklist

  1. Perpetually Unopened Box -:-- / 3:12

See this box on my kitchen table
I see it there every morning, there every night
It never opens, just sits there holding
All that could go wrong and all that could go right
All that could go right

What else can I do but just walk on by?
I’ll always never know what’s inside
What else can I do but live my life?
There’s always only this moment in time

Every now and then I hear a voice saying
“Stop what you’re doing and come over here
Aren’t you curious, worried that in here sits
Your greatest hope and your greatest fear?
It’s all inside here.”

What else can I do but just walk on by?
I’ll always never know what’s inside
What else can I do but live my life?
There’s always only this moment in time
There’s only ever this moment in time
There’s always only this moment in time

Just walk on by
There’s always only this moment in time
Just walk on by
There’s only ever this moment in time
Just walk on by
There’s always only this moment in time
