Boxes

When everything

When everything was out of reach

The sky was up

The ground was right below our feet

We played in boxes

We played in boxes

Cardboard boxes

We played in boxes

We played in boxes

Cardboard boxes

We wasted time

We wasted time before we knew

Don't punch the clock

Or time will run away with you

We live in boxes

We live in boxes

Concrete boxes

We live in boxes

We live in boxes

Concrete boxes

Now your childhood is over

You're a man they have said

You silently shoulder

All the plans they have made

You pack down your boxes and ask

Who am I?

The biggest trick

The biggest trick they play on you

To make you think

The show won't go on without you

We go in boxes

We go in boxes

Wooden boxes

We go in boxes

We go in boxes

Wooden boxes

Now the room has been emptied

I'm alone in my bed

The heart is a box

Which the soul has fled

The spell has been broken

And the last word is said
