Liner Notes

Same prompt, but this one turned a bit dark along the way. At least it's short

Lyrics

Underneath the comic books
The pens that long since dried
The clippings from a magazine
Some celebrity that died

A photograph, fading brown
A remnant from the past
You wonder what she’d be doing now
Without that fatal car crash

Boxes which hold memories
Hold dark secrets too
True throughout the centuries
The pain that we have gone through

In boxes
Cardboard boxes
They’ve seen it all
Cardboard boxes

(c) words and music G Todd 2025

You're fast! Cool story. The 2nd verse hit me as it reminded me of someone that I loved that perished that way. Good, good melody.

This is kinda where I went with it too. Sometimes boxes hold memories we don't want to remember.

2 songs in one skirmish? Wow! You tell quite a story in just a few verses. Nice write!

I enjoyed the darker tone. It felt more real. A lifetime lived through the contents of cardboard boxes. A nice skirmish.
