Boxes

You scream that we are opposite

What you don't have I'm born with

You blame my fury on my incompetence

To see society through your broken lence

And I've tried to borrow your eyes

I've tried to live in between your lines

Folks try to change their skin

Try to be straight to fit in

We try to compromise

But what I realize

Is the world is our's to take

And the rules are our's to break

And the boxes you've been keeping us in

We put fire to them

And they're burning

I see your face everywhere I go

cynical, scared or skeptical

The wrapping's different but the words the same

There's no need for a wider frame

And I've tried to borrow your eyes

I've tried to live in between your lines

Folks try to change their skin

Try to be straight to fit in

They try to compromise

But what I realize

Is the world is our's to take

And the rules are our's to break

And the boxes you've been keeping us in

We put fire to them

And they're burning
