Words and music written by Adam DiCarlo (January 2002)

I’m so conscious
of my subconscious wants
trapped with the devil in a box

I’m useless
Like a ship in a bottle
Until you get me ready to pull your throttle

You say, “Merci, I’ll beg for more
The taboo fruit, the forbidden door
I can’t come clean, don’t ask me why
Just make me scared for my life”

I’m so conscious
of your subconscious want
to be trapped with the devil in a box

I’m conflicted, a pawn in place of king
Watching you dangle by the hanging string

I never knew what was up with you
Or what was up to me
