Hello, you tiny cardboard box
With matches inside
Hello, you wooden match
Hello, the light you provide
You keep me warm, you keep me safe
You know that darkness isn't good
But nothing lasts forever
You're only two inches of flammable wood
And when the sun comes back
There won't be any lack
Of lumination in any way
But on the other hand
I'll never understand
Why it disappears after every day
Now I've forgotten what I wanted to say
Hello, you railroad nail, so sharp
So rusty and red
Hello, you sledgehammer
Implanting it into my head
And with it comes a stream of thought
And then ideas begin to form
So I must thank you for it
The nail in my head is the eye of the storm
And with my newfound mind
I make the world unwind
As if the planet was made of clay
This is a tragic mix
Of wayward magic tricks
And giant robots from far away
Now I've forgotten what I wanted to say
With matches inside
