I'm sure you know my name
at least you've heard my story
some call me the mother of trouble
I'm not the mother of anybody
So tell me
what would you do
if you were to walk in my shoes?
He gives you a gift
tells you not to open it
hands you a box
tells you to keep a lid on it
I'll take my share of the blame
ask him to do the same
I'm gonna fill your eyes with visions
not forgotten once they're free
my name is Pandora
don't you blame your sins on me
It was a box of darkness
complete with stars
I swear I held the universe
felt it slipping through my hands
He knew my curiosity
was stronger than duty
he needed me to open it
so he could wash his hands of it
I saw through his game
I opened it just the same
I'm sure you know my name
at least you've heard my story
some call me the mother of trouble
I'm not the mother of anybody
My name means bringer of gifts
ask my dad what he meant by it
I'm gonna fill your eyes with darkness
till the beauty shines like stars
bright enough to break my father's heart
bright enough to break my father's heart
