Spencer Austin - Boxes Lyrics

I left a piece of me in this room
It's got me feeling a shade of blue
As I come to grips with a difficult truth
Who the hell was I?
He turned to dust
My memories of lust
Are crowded by an aging mind
The boxes of a life gone by
A longing for a simple time
When all the toys were mine
But now the paint has faded
And my face is aging
It's the gift and curse of time
Time
It heals everything inside
But it tears you apart til you can't even walk
At the exact same time
I need to find myself
A respite from the fray
Cause I get a little older
I get a little wiser
But my looks all fade away
Why does it have to be a cruel game?
When I finally figure it out my body gives out
And I'm thrown into the grave
I'm sure these toys relate
We used to play
But then they were put away
Lightyear used to always amuse me
I even wrote my name on his foot like in the movie
When did this all change?
He's got chips in his paint
And I got lines on my face
I'm gonna bring him back
Fix the chips and the cracks
Rewrite my name in black
I put him up on my shelf
Now I'm remembering well
Who I used to be
