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
