Box

I was living in a small mindWith no lifelineAnd no messages can reach me from the outsideWhen I looked out over the horizonDidn't notice the sun was setting or just rising

Then it hit meMaybe bit meThen I knew, quite a few would not go with meI didn't know exactly where I would be goingBut I had to let this river in me flowing

What a rideWhen you open your eyesFor the very first timeA real surprise

I started living outside of the boxCrossing over lines where I always used to stopLiving outside of the box'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm notI always knew this day would comeWhen I got off my back, found some motivationI've been living on the other sideCome hell or high water every moment I'm alive

I was living on a fault lineThe fault was all mineAnd this unstable ground found me down half the timeBut I had enoughI had to get upI had to shrug it all off 'cause it's the same old stuff

Then it hit meYou won't permit meTo be an individualJust doesn't fit meBut I decided that it's going to be livingYeah, I decided I'm escaping from your prison

What a highWhen you open your mind for the very first timeA real surprise

So long conformityAnd ambiguality is a new priorityAll it takes, for heaven sakesIs to figure out the face and learn to seperate

I started living outside for the boxTaking my time when I always used to rushLiving outside of the box'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm notI always knew this day would comeWhen I broke down the walls for my liberationI've been living on the other sideCome hell or high water every moment I'm alive

Oh, living outside of the boxOh, living outside of the boxOh, living outside

Ha ha ha

I always knew this day would comeWhen I got off my back, found some motivation

Oh, living outside of the boxOf the box, of your lifeOf everything that seems that nice
