Gill Musing (Thinking Outside The Box)
I'm stuck here
Life on the rocks
I'll never get out, but I'll keep on
Thinkin' outside the box
It's lonely
Even though they're all around me
Nobody's like me
None of them know
What it's like outside the box
Spent all their lives in walls of glass
Watching the people pass
As they stare and point their fingers
The feeling, the longing lingers
It's like I'm trapped in the stocks
Thinkin' outside the box
The life I wanted was free of filters
Walls of glass and pain
I told myself that this would be the day
But it always ended the same
I always wound up where I started
Sitting round in my socks
Waiting wanting wishing for something impossible
Life outside the box
I wanna cry sometimes when I
See what this room has done to them
They're chasing air, imaginary twins in the light
And are afraid to play in the mud
They should be free, free to live their lives
Instead of staring at the docks
Hoping for something that will never come
Trapped inside the box
Maybe someday someone else will come
And be the one to free us from
All that we have ever done
It's not gonna be me
I've tried too long to understand
Why things do not go as planned
Why we've been dealt this very hand
That keeps us from being free
All I know is that when we do get out
Though I try to convince myself
That the ocean has no keys or locks
When that day comes
There'll always be a part of me
Livin' inside the box
