[Verse 1] Toward Sendai station south entrance I’m walking with a box in my hands Paper corner bent by the rain My name on the tape, your claw marks there [Verse 2] Uncertainty theory in my chest Every step says one thing, then the next I hear a tiny scratch inside And I keep my face too still, too proud [Pre-Chorus] If I open it, the world can change If I don’t, I’ll live in the same old strain My breath is loud in the hallway now One more step, and I’ll know somehow [Chorus] Open it, open it I can’t keep holding this Open it, open it No more guessing in the dark Is you alive in there? Is you alive in there? (come on) Open it, open it Tell me what I’m holding [Verse 3] The clerk by the gate looks through me Past the stains, past the shaking key Your little nose might touch the air Or I might find a cold blank square [Pre-Chorus] If I open it, the world can change If I don’t, I’ll live in the same old strain My hand won’t stop at the latch tonight Truth is a blade with a silver light [Chorus] Open it, open it I can’t keep holding this Open it, open it No more guessing in the dark Is you alive in there? Is you alive in there? (come on) Open it, open it Tell me what I’m holding [Bridge] I count to three, then lose the count My thumb stays pressed, my heart beats out If you’re a shadow, let me grieve If you’re a cat, then come to me [Chorus] Open it, open it I can’t keep holding this Open it, open it No more guessing in the dark Is you alive in there? Is you alive in there? (come on) Open it, open it Tell me what I’m holding
