Boxes

You're so pretty when you lie
Sitting safely in the seat you stole.
Silly girl,
Shut up and save your soul.

They stare in penetrating silence.
Their eyes burn through the veil you wear.
News travels faster to the pulpit
"Oh leave your love and we'll be there".

Boxes boxes
Pack up your bags.
You should know you don't belong!
Boxes boxes
All that you have
Take them back to where you came from.

It's so easy to pretend.
Paint your face, do what you're told.
Silly girl,
Shut up and let them win!

The birds sing softly of your secrets
The whispers echo through the trees
Beckoning "just come and listen"
"Come and play pretend with me"

Boxes boxes
Pack up your bags.
You should know you don't belong!
Boxes boxes
All that you have.
Take them back to where you came from.

Boxes wait in the backseat of my car
Begging me to bring them inside.
But my suitcase stays right beside my broken heart
Waiting for the sound of the alarm.
