In A Box

You put me in a box— 'Cause that’s what makes you comfortable. You put me in a box— 'Cause that’s what makes you strong. You put me in a box And tell me That’s where I belong. You put me in a box To keep me Contained. Controlled. You put me in a box To strip away my soul. You put me in a box And seal it up tight. You put me in a box And think I won’t fight— I’ll just curl up and quit. But that’s not what you’ll get. I don’t give a s*** How strong your box is. I’m stronger. Last longer. Will conquer— Your box. Your rules. Your sad expectations. Imposed limitations. No negotiations. You’ll need a coffin To keep me down and silent. Because I’m all in. Ain’t gonna fall in. Gonna fight. Get violent. Damn your box.
