Romero Shaw - Inside the Box lyrics

Born into a world of misunderstanding and resentment Beginning never as complicated as the way it was meant It's the same tale It gets told a thousand times The truth behind a million kids putting together simple f** you lines Behind a million crimes, a million good intentions When i was doing good, never resorted to no foul sh** But nowadays things just get carried away The nerdy kid you liked is now the one sneaking it out the back way It is what it is, a lot of my friends caught up in shady sh** But can't deal with, misrepresentation that is all they get I never claim to be a saint, deny the role as sinner Refuse to accept the role of loser when I see so many unjust winners I look in my daughter's face i see my grandmother's eyes When i look into my wife's, hear the one word: survive Whatever it takes. whatever it means to get from there to here When i was younger the world seemed so f**ing crystal clear Nowadays there's nothing left to feel Never find the connections spinning off some old dusty reel to reel The pigs squeal The sheep all speak but say nothing I spent my life in your face, never waste my time bluffing But i guess that's sorta the message Can't win a losing battle You are just another piece of meat shuffle beside the other cattle Hear the d**h rattle, the shaking in the crib Never make it out, trapped in the box You can't even remove the lid You'll never make it out Burn the tapestry f** it. wrote my own epitaph Read it aloud to anyone that would listen Summed up my feelings in a paragraph The walking dead. the zombie missing his heart Driven by brain, you know i never miss the good part I'm the kind of guy that waits for the credits at the end of hte film Resenting the people around me until i realize that I've become them Die on a whim But at least the whim was mine Fly into the clouds, but i'd never say i was driving blind I know exactly what it is that moves me Exactly what i feel Exactly what the game is Wrote the terms, maybe a bad deal Scorched my name into this Burned my fate into the sky Complete unwillingness to meet you halfway just to say goodbye A beam of light in the darkness never show you the way And my sword kept swinging till there was no one left to hear what i had to say And i think i like it that way Alright Okay
