Lyrics
(Instrumental Build)
[Verse 1]
I don't remember the day I was birthed
Or the day I first realized
This dirt was called, "earth"
Or even the day
when I first gave my best
To take the full shape of an iron bound chest
I do remember the day it was clear
That I was alone
Without friends to hold dear
So don't be suprised
if that box on the end
Smiles at you and just wants to be friends
[Verse 2]
In the dungeon so dark where adventurers tread,
I sit here in silence with thoughts in my head.
The heroes they come,
and then they all go,
They see just a monster not the loneliness I know.
I mimic their gear, their laughter, their cries,
But deep down inside,
a real mimic lies.
I long for a friend,
a companion, a mate,
Someone to trust, not to fear or to hate.
[Chorus]
Oh can you see the shape of my heart?
Is it fabric
or wood
or beautiful art?
Am I really me?
Or forever a rug?
Oh what I wouldn't give
for somebody to hug.
I've watched and I've waited for so many years,
Hiding my hopes
and swallowing tears.
Oh can you see the shape of my soul?
Is it worthy of love
and someone to hold?
[Verse 3]
One day they'll see past my exterior guise,
They'll see I'm not scary,
but friendly and wise.
With patience and kindness,
I'll open my lid,
And show them the treasure inside that's been hid.
Together we'll wander through forests and glades,
We'll face all the dangers,
we'll conquer the shades.
For deep in my heart,
a friend I will find,
And leave all this mimicry far, far behind.
[Chorus]
Oh can you see the shape of my heart?
Is it fabric
or wood
or beautiful art?
Am I really me?
Or forever a rug?
Oh what I wouldn't give
for somebody to hug.
I've watched and I've waited for so many years,
Hiding my hopes
and swallowing tears.
Oh can you see the shape of my soul?
Is it worthy of love
and someone to hold?
[Verse 4]
In caverns and ruins I patiently dwell,
Hoping for someone
who'll break through my shell.
A glimmer of kindness,
a sparkle, a light,
Could turn all my darkness into day from night.
I've heard of the tales of friendships so strong,
Of bonds that are cherished,
that last ever long.
I yearn for that bond,
a connection so true,
To share all my secrets and adventures with you.
[Chorus]
Oh can you see the shape of my heart?
Is it fabric
or wood
or beautiful art?
Am I really me?
Or forever a rug?
Oh what I wouldn't give
for somebody to hug.
I've watched and I've waited for so many years,
Hiding my hopes
and swallowing tears.
Oh can you see the shape of my soul?
Is it worthy of love
and someone to hold?
(instrumental bridge)
(outro)
So here's to the day
when you'll see the real me,
Not just a chest,
but a friend wild and free.
With hope in my heart,
I'll patiently wait,
For the one who will see me
and change my fate.
[Chorus]
Oh can you see the shape of my heart?
Is it fabric
or wood
or beautiful art?
Am I really me?
Or forever a rug?
Oh what I wouldn't give
for somebody to hug.
I've watched and I've waited for so many years,
Hiding my hopes
and swallowing tears.
Oh can you see the shape of my soul?
Is it worthy of love
and someone to hold?

So here's to the day

Not just a chest,
