empty box - morphine

tore open the package it was an empty box

no meaning to me just an empty box

sender was a woman

she said she's sending me everything I

I never gave her before

she said: Fill it up and send it back,

so I sent her back an empty box.

A big mistake, sent back an empty box

half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight,

and half insane just a sound.

in the night I enter a valley so dark

that when I look back I can't see where I began,

I can't see my hands, I don't even know if my eyes are open.

In the morning I was by the sea

and I swam out as far as I could swim 'til I was too tired to swim anymore

and then I floated and tried to get by strength back.

Then an empty box came floating by,

an empty box and I crawled inside

half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight

and half insane just a sound

alright
