Cold Steel Box

On Dani Compose

I know a coffin, I seen it so

I know a town where they feed it, low

In the ground, not buried; an undertow

More than a few, cold steel box

I know their women, they know I know

Showed me the lake where the evidence goes

Caskets full; toys and nefarious blocks

Never ever let go, cold steel box

I seen their graveyard, playful stuff

Beneath the pavement, tore it up

They play hard, play cards, men with gloves

Visit once a day, cold steel box

Never heard of children, they don’t like kids

They’d heard some noise so they popped the lids

They’ll never stop wondering what they did

Just lock the doors, cold steel box

They love me, hug me, suck me in

Tell so many tales, tug at their skin

Something will happen, something must begin

Go have a look, cold steel box

They need some news, they’re so confused

What hell had wrought them mysterious graves

Something weirded the land, grabbed at the place

Touching at their face, cold steel box

They aged into brooms with things to do

So tired, dried, they tried to use

Their gods; old men with dreaded locks

They never die; cold steel box

I left that place the same way I came

On a midnight train under cover of rain

Somewhere hidden they paint the mother of pain

Back to the fray, cold steel box
