Verse:
I have hundred keys to million locks
And none of them opens
this one certain box
Found it in the swamp where
everything rots
Took it home and it screams here,
I donÂ’t know when it stops

It haunts and poisons my dreams

Why donÂ’t I bury it
somewhere deep
I know itÂ’s not really mine to keep

Chorus:
Why donÂ’t I step away
from that guilt
That inside of me many long years
has been built
There is no gain that amounts
to this pain
There is no rain that would
tarnish this stain
It haunts and poisons my dreams

Now IÂ’ve seen the waters burning
Now IÂ’ve felt the sunshine lie
Now I know the tides are turning
Now IÂ’ve heard the sirens sing

When I lay my head beside you
When my fingers
touch your rusted hings
Scent of mire makes my
eyes grow weary
And I caress your splintered skin

But now I know
what lies within you
I can see right through your lid
Now my visionÂ’s clear my
senses sharpened
Now I know what ills you bring

But when I lay my head
beside your peril
And my fingers
touch your rusted hings

Chorus:
Why donÂ’t I stepÂ…

That murky-bottomed swamp,
it breathes and talks
With dead and rotten oaks,
it breathes and talks
My poisonclouded mind,
it seethes and balks
And this one certain box,
it haunts and stalks

Why donÂ’t I bury it
somewhere deep
I know itÂ’s not really mine to keep

Chorus:
Why donÂ’t I step
