lyrics

I live in a box without any walls
Forests are grown from the waters that fall
The trees branch out and fill with snow
The snow falls down and so the forest grows

I live in a box without any roof
We're all spinning round and we're all passing through
The moon comes up when the day is done
A man grows up to be his son

And if you want to know where you're going
Just take a look back at where you're from

I live in a box without any floor
The sunken all find their way to the shore
A murky shroud or a mask of clay
The arms of the ocean are gonna have their way

And if you want to know where you're going
Just take a look back at where you're from

I live in a box without any air
No ink for my pen, no legs for my chair
The wind is just a breeze and a breeze is just that
All that we have is where ever we're at

And if you want to know where you're going
Just take a look back at where you're from
