Within the Box

TODAY I WENT WALKING ALONG THE PATH OF INFINITY. 

BUT MY HEART WAS KINDA MUDDLED, MY MIND 

IT WAS CONFUSED. 

I WANTED TO FIND MY PLACE 

A PLACE FOR ME TO BE, BUT 

ALL I KEPT ON HEARING WERE THESE WORDS WITH IN MY HEAD 

AN ECHO BOOMING 

GET BACK INTO YOUR BOX

JUST BECAUSE YOU HEAR THE MUSIC 

DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN SING ALONG 

WE PRINTED OUT THIS LABEL 

WHICH NOW DEFINES YOUR IDENTITY 

WE ARE THE WISE ONES - DON’T EVEN HINT THAT WE ARE WRONG. 

TO MOVE BEYOND THE BOX IN WHICH YOU LIVE 

YOU WILL HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND ALL DOUBT THAT 

THOUGH CONDEMNED 

YOU STILL HAVE SOMETHING LEFT TO GIVE WITH STRENGTH 

WE PLAN THE ACTION BUT 

YOU MUST PROVE THAT YOU CAN KICK THE GOAL 

BEFORE WE SHOW YOU THE BALL 

YOUR MARK OF IMPERFECTION SHOWS 

THE FAILURE THAT YOU ARE 

DO NOT THINK THAT YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR BOX 

YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE CLIMB OUT OF YOUR HOLE 

YOU WANT TO JOIN THE TEAM 

YOU WANT YOUR STRUGGLE TO COUNT 

BUT YOU ARE THE SYMBOL OF THE STRUGGLE 

SYMBOL OF THE SHAME 

YOU FIT THE BOX SO PERFECTLY 

YOUR LABEL HAS BECOME YOUR NAME 

I WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT THE LABEL IS MY WHOLE 

FOR THOUGH I AM TIRED AND BATTERED 

I AM SLOWLY CLAIMING MY SOUL. 

I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK 

I HAVE A STORY TO TELL 

I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT THIS BATTLE UNTIL 

I NO LONGER HAVE TO PROVE 

THAT I AM WELL 

THE FACT THAT I AM BEFORE YOU 

READING OUT THESE WORDS 

SHOWS THAT I HAVE THE STRENGTH WITHIN 

THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT THIS DIAGNOSTIC CURSE 

I KNOW THAT I AM CHALLENGED 

BUT YOUR JUDGMENT MAKES IT WORSE. 

I WILL FIGHT THE POWER OF CONDEMNATION 

I WILL STAND UPON THE STREET 

I WILL WALK THIS PATH OF INFINITY 

I WILL MAKE MY STORY BE TOLD 

I MAY HAVE SO LITTLE BUT WITHIN ME 

I HAVE HOPE 

YOUR POCKETS MAYBE LINED WITH GOLD 

BUT WHEN YOUR CHALLENGE COMES 

WILL THIS GOLD HELP YOU COPE 

I WALK MY PATH OF INFINITY 

BUT I WALK IT WITH PRIDE 

LET ALL READ MY LABEL 

I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO HIDE
