When everything
When everything was out of reach
The sky was up
The ground was right below our feet

We played in boxes
We played in boxes
Cardboard boxes
2x

We wasted time
We wasted time before we knew:
Don't punch the clock
Or time will run away with you

We live in boxes
We live in boxes
Concrete boxes
2x

Now your childhood is over
"You're a man", they have said
You silently shoulder
All the plans they have made
You pack down your boxes and ask
"Who am I?"

The biggest trick
The biggest trick they play on you
To make you think
The show won't go on without you

We go in boxes
We go in boxes
Wooden boss
2x

Now the room has been emptied
I'm alone in my bed
The heart is a box
Which the soul has fled
The spell has been broken
And the last word is said
