Cat in the Mind Box

[Intro] Cat in the mind box Scratchin through the static Soft paws on the signal Turnin thought to magic [Verse 1] There’s a cat in the mind box Curled up in the dark Glowing like a coal tip Waiting for a spark Moves without a footprint Breathes without a sound Looks me in the third eye Then circles all around I can feel it pacing Through the velvet in my skull Pulling on the moon strings When the midnight gets too full Half dream, half shadow Half holy, half lost Sitting in the silence Like it knows what thought has cost [Pre-Chorus] It don’t meow for nothing It don’t beg, it don’t chase It just waits inside the thunder With a galaxy for a face [Chorus] Cat in the mind box Jumping through time locks Claw marks on the veil Where the real gets lost Cat in the mind box Watching all my thought clocks Purring in the static Like a god in a soft spot Cat in the mind box Royal in the moonlight Black fur made of memory Eyes full of blue light Cat in the mind box Silent but it talks Every time I drift away It walks me back to God [Verse 2] It sleeps on my confusion Then wakes inside my prayer Stretching through dimensions Leaving silver in the air Tail wrapped round the question Of what I’m here to be A little king of instinct Guarding inner secrecy Maybe it’s my wildness Maybe it’s my soul Maybe it’s the part of me That never could be sold Maybe it’s the watcher In the chamber of the pine Licking ancient stardust From the corners of my mind [Pre-Chorus] It don’t fear the chaos It don’t run from the flame It just sits above the heartbeat Like it already knows my name [Chorus] Cat in the mind box Jumping through time locks Claw marks on the veil Where the real gets lost Cat in the mind box Watching all my thought clocks Purring in the static Like a god in a soft spot Cat in the mind box Royal in the moonlight Black fur made of memory Eyes full of blue light Cat in the mind box Silent but it talks Every time I drift away It walks me back to God [Bridge] Schrödinger dreams in a purple room Heartbeat bloomin to a velvet tune What’s alive in the maybe zone What comes home when you’re all alone I open up the lid too soon Still find stars in the hidden wound There’s a creature made of inner sight Teaching me to trust the night [Final Chorus] Cat in the mind box Keeper of the soft dark Sits upon the root of me Leaving little star marks Cat in the mind box Never really locked It was always in the silence Waiting till I stopped Cat in the mind box Royal Sap rhythm Purring with the universe Deep inside the system Cat in the mind box Now I hear the call There’s a little cosmic animal Living through it all [Outro] Cat in the mind box Softly in the haze Curled beside the candle At the center of the maze Cat in the mind box I finally understand The wild thing in the darkness Was the light inside the man
