lyrics

I went outside just to talk a lot to people I know not
Tell me if I might look straight back again
tell me once within, with my feet on the ground

*I'll escape without a single scratch
I've got the open mind, I've got the open hatch

The crustacean on the balcony
You know I asked him why he acts so superior
I just really wanna speak in his vernacular
So I went outside just to speak again
and someone asked me why I act so superior
I just really wanna speak in new vernacular

*I'll escape without a single scratch
I've got the open mind I've got the open hatch
I will melt like a popsicle
into an abyss where I have complete control

All these fishes are too cool for school
you know they really really are so superior
They don't even need shells like bottom feeders
They stare at my like I'm an enemy
You know they know that I'm so inferior
I just really want to speak in new vernacular

*Wait, what is wrong with me?
I feel so very tired
I feel so very very weak
I'll escape without a single scratch
without a single scratch
without a single single scratch
no no no no NO NO NO NO that won't be me!

I went outside just to talk a lot, I went outside
I went outside just to talk a lot to people I know not
on the other side

Now I now I feel so particular
It's like a billion billion billion billion billion
message in my mind
now I now I feel so spectacular-
-ly bright oooohh

Box (noun) "B'aw'cks": A local band spawned from the OFH with aspirations like Death Cab and Modest Mouse before them. Led by Johnathan Stevens and Jackson Rudd who have been writing music together since they were wee lads in jr. high school. Heavily inspired by the Strokes and Radiohead with an obvious band geekiness that can't help but reveal itself. We're all about the dance so check us out! ... more
