lyrics

From my box I can see everything.
Life and all the joy that it can bring.
No, I don’t want to live beyond my frame.
‘Cause in here the weather’s always better,
life’s a winning game!

I find the scum outside to be
a source of loneliness,
but in my fear fortress
the box has sown my redemption.
Outside it’s wet and cold...
a violent sight I shan’t perceive
but through my filters and protection.
I am a boxman!

What?
I’ve never heard such ridiculous buffoonary!
Why would I want to join you out there?
Just look at my life compared to yours!
I’ve got all the things a boy could ever want:
friends by the thousands,
the very world at my fingertips!
I’ll never join you! Never! That’s ludicrous...
absurd!

Outside again... could I resume that life?
To know... I’d finally found a way
I can feel safe outside... to know... to know!

I’m fine to dull sensations of pain and agony,
but to hide from danger I have hidden everything.
An even keel... my life is plain and dull,
but at last I have realized.
Into the world I go!

I’m ready! Just... must... must, ah, loosen this strap a bit...
Must get out! What? Ah... I... I’m stuck!
I ca... I can’t get out!
Gah! Wretched contraption! Please let me out!
Please! I... I’m stuck! GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!
