I live in a box of springs

And they’re all wound up tight

When one of them tips

The others spring

And all of them join the fight

I live in a box of fuses

And when one of them alights

The others spark

And if one booms

The others bang it “right”

I live in a house of mirrors

And none of them work right

This sees me empty

This sees me old

This sees me flaky and light

I live in a box of springs

And they’re all wound up tight

When one of them tips

The others spring

And all of them join the fight
