"Boxed In" lyrics
My heart's taken quite the beatin'
About a billion so far and I'm still breathing
Been hurt so many times without a reason
Before I learned pain don't have to have a meaning
I just keep tripping on the stepping stones
My shoes untied, my hindsight's gone
Thinking how I should disappear
Nobody wants me home, nobody likes me here
I whistle while I trickle by
Made some friends, just to watch 'em die
Built a house on solid ground
'Til an act of God went and tore it down
I loved her well, despite myself
Truth be told she needs someone else
'Cause there's a demon in my brain
Hanging pictures on the wall
I love making people laugh
Cause at least someone should be happy
If it can't be me, it's fine by me
It don't matter to me at all
I'm barely holding on
Pray the tips of my fingers stay strong
My heart's taken quite the beatin'
About a billion so far but I'm still breathing
Been hurt so many times without a reason
Before I learned pain don't have to have a meaning
Pain keeps coming there's no stopping
Life without it just ain't in the cards and options
Running the same ol' circles I keep getting lost in
It's a big ol' world but we're all a little boxed in
Well I'm scared to breathe, I'm scared to move
I'm scared to see what I turn into
Tears paint the wooden floor and
Depression's so damn boring
I don't deserve the good I get
So when it comes I don't let it in
I don't let it live, I don't let it give me hope
Don't give me anything
Thank God and Mom and Dad broke me
But what the hell do they owe me
It's all on me, it falls on me
Can scars carve biology
Is it in my blood or in my brain
Doctors say it's phantom pain
Cause something that once was
Ain't there anymore
I'm barely holding on
Pray the tips of my fingers stay strong
My heart's taken quite the beatin'
About a billion so far but I'm still breathing
Been hurt so many times without a reason
Before I learned pain don't have to have a meaning
Pain keeps coming there's no stopping
Life without it just ain't in the cards and options
Running the same ol' circles I keep getting lost in
It's a big ol' world but we're all a little boxed in
We're all a little boxed in
We're all a little boxed in
We're all a little boxed in
I'm barely holding on
About a billion so far and I'm still breathing
Been hurt so many times without a reason
Before I learned pain don't have to have a meaning
I just keep tripping on the stepping stones
My shoes untied, my hindsight's gone
Thinking how I should disappear
Nobody wants me home, nobody likes me here
I whistle while I trickle by
Made some friends, just to watch 'em die
Built a house on solid ground
'Til an act of God went and tore it down
I loved her well, despite myself
Truth be told she needs someone else
'Cause there's a demon in my brain
Hanging pictures on the wall
I love making people laugh
Cause at least someone should be happy
If it can't be me, it's fine by me
It don't matter to me at all
I'm barely holding on
Pray the tips of my fingers stay strong
My heart's taken quite the beatin'
About a billion so far but I'm still breathing
Been hurt so many times without a reason
Before I learned pain don't have to have a meaning
Pain keeps coming there's no stopping
Life without it just ain't in the cards and options
Running the same ol' circles I keep getting lost in
It's a big ol' world but we're all a little boxed in
Well I'm scared to breathe, I'm scared to move
I'm scared to see what I turn into
Tears paint the wooden floor and
Depression's so damn boring

So when it comes I don't let it in
I don't let it live, I don't let it give me hope

Running the same ol' circles I keep getting lost in
It's a big ol' world but we're all a little boxed in
We're all a little boxed in
We're all a little boxed in
We're all a little boxed in
I'm barely holding on
