"Memory Box" lyrics

Sentiment, now sediment
Taking up the space
In my closet where I know that the past can have a name
So if I'm missing Dylan or Autumn
I sit down and I dig to the bottom
I pull up string and apologies

There's no loss inside
My memory box, my memory box
Filled with everyone that I
I ever loved, that I ever loved
Oh, I wear the cord around
My index and thumb, index and thumb
Frayed enough to break but I'll
I'll never cut, I'll never cut

I wear a nightgown to the funeral
It's only me and shame
I think I see someone in clutter
In the ink, a face
But there's some things you can't bottle
So their voices slipped away
It's all that I have left
Paper dolls and macramé

There's no loss inside
My memory box, my memory box
Filled with everyone that I
I ever loved, that I ever loved
Oh, I wear the cord around
My index and thumb, index and thumb
Frayed enough to break but I'll
I'll never cut, I'll never cut

Strangers loved me, and I love strangers
Strangers loved me once, but not forever
Strangers loved me, and I still love strangers
Strangers loved me once, but here forever
Strangers in a pile of my hidden treasure
