Black Box Heart| A Sinister Sister Creative Production

[Intro] [Heartbeat sub-bass] [Distorted kalimba motif, distant] I opened every door Except the one inside me. [Verse 1] I found an old recording With a voice I couldn't place She said a word I used to answer Before I learned to hide my face There were things in the signal That nobody could know A room I don't remember A name I don't say anymore [Pre-Chorus] I thought somebody was watching From somewhere beyond the blue Then I heard the next transmission And it sounded just like you [Pause] No. It sounded just like me. [Chorus] I've got a black box heart Buried where nobody goes Every secret leaves a fingerprint Every silence leaves a code You knew what I forgot You saw what I erased Now every signal coming through Is wearing my face I've got a black box heart And somehow you have the key [Post-Chorus] [Distorted kalimba] You know me You know me You know me [Verse 2] I traced the little melody Across a thousand nights It wasn't coming from the heavens It was hiding in my mind Every note was something broken Every pause became a scar And the farther that I followed The closer I came to where we are [Pre-Chorus] I thought I was searching for her Somewhere beyond the atmosphere But every time she called my name I felt myself disappear [Chorus] I've got a black box heart Buried where nobody goes Every secret leaves a fingerprint Every silence leaves a code You knew what I forgot You saw what I erased Now every signal coming through Is wearing my face I've got a black box heart And somehow you have the key [Bridge] [Music nearly disappears] Tell me what happened Tell me who she was Tell me why she remembers Everything I don't [Whisper] Why does she sound like me? [Distorted kalimba returns] I know this song. I know this place. I know her. [Final Chorus] I've got a black box heart And now I know what it contains All the things I couldn't carry All the names beneath the names You weren't calling from the stars You weren't calling from the sea You were buried in the silence Waiting to come back to me I've got a black box heart And you finally found the key [Outro] [Heartbeat slows] Three little notes... [Kalimba] Then silence.
