boxes

doesnt anybody know
i sit here day after day in this box
no walls no way of escaping
contained by the boundaries of insanity
insane to some maybe, i find my reasons logic
wouldnt dare step aside the boundaries or else i know you'd be there
pushing me back in telling me how im dumb
thats ok some people need boundaries right?
not me, i wanna be free, complaining only brings me shame
shouldn't i be content this box keeps me safe
what if there were to be a crack in my boundaries
leeking in the other world
the one you left unexposed to so many of my kind
would that tear this down, kill me off
set me free, not matter at all
i see the cracks in my boundaries im leaking free
claiming the world unforseen
who sets the boundaries for you
someone cleary out of their mind, oh wait or was it me?
