Oh, it's basic amateur psychology

Everybody knows it's not the way to deal with misery

I'll push all of this pain way deep down low

Repression just delays the inevitable, I know

I'm gonna put this in a box marked "do not open"

It's not the healthiest way to cope, but it's the one I've chosen

Now is not the time, that's Future Me's problem, not mine

I'll put this in a box marked "do not open"

For now, it's just the way it's got to be

Lock it in that box and then just throw away the key

With any luck, it won't be found for years

Until then, I will take forced laughter over tears

I'm gonna put this in a box marked "do not open"

It's not the healthiest way to cope, but it's the one I've chosen

Now is not the time, that's Future Me's problem, not mine

I'll put this in a box marked "do not open"

I promise that I'll deal with it one day

I don't know where or when, but I don't know another way

I don't mean to self-misdiagnose

So I say, until the day the box stays firmly closed

I'll put this in a box marked "do not open"

It's not the healthiest way to cope, but it's the one I've chosen

Now is not the time, that's Future Me's problem, not mine

I'll put this in a box marked "do not open"
