Tick tock, little music box
Pluck out your metal comb
With my key that spins your locks
Your chimes echo a tune in monochrome

Strumming the whispers of the heart
Soft hums of a serene yet eerie lullaby
Each round ends with a goodbye
But with my key, such tune would always restart

Let me spin you again, your only chime
Allow me to hear your little song
Because unlike you, I don't have time
But without me, you're only a metal box

Oh, little music box
Your repetition amazes me
Ongoing, never changing
I envy your ability

My days are running out
I can see an end in my route
The ability to just go about
Ends here, fast and abrupt

So stay here for eternity,  little music box
Quietly playing your tune for the rest of your lifespan
Because for you, I no longer can
