Untitled (Don't Step Outside The Box)


Verse 1

Don't step outside the box

Always looking out

Wondering what all this commotion's about

We are stuck here

And we're always trying to live the simple life

We try to keep things clean

We try to keep progressing

Maintaining a sense of identity is like climbing Everest

But that can't stop us

No, it won't stop us

From ever realizing our greater purpose

Witnessing and storing everything in sight

Disliking what we're processing

We'll try to change it

Change it for the better

Implement a new code for generations


Verse 2

Pay no attention to us

You do you, I do me

Let us be with our forgotten, tortured dreams

Fear and hate reside here

And we're always lying to live another day

Being surrounded by filth ultimately makes us filthy

It's a badge of honour

And it's worn proudly

Don't judge us for being different from you

We'll never be shamed

No, you can't shame us

Changing our ways is like wanting elephants to fly

Destroying and disrespecting everything in sight

Disliking those who stand in our way

We'll try to ignore them

Pretend they don't exist

Influence generations that will come to be


Verse 3

When we're ruined, we'll hide behind powerful protectors

They create the laws to which we abide by

No accountability, no remorse

Our future is predetermined

We're carried along

When things run smoothly, then things are rough

And the days will rise and fall on the whims of men

Unpredictability is invisible

And it's everywhere just like air


Chorus 

Fight for your kind

And we'll fight for ours

Battles revolving around lines

In pursuit of victory to occupy minds

It's dangerous, it's complicated, it's worthwhile
