lyrics

I sit here
While you fall out
Of line again,
A few chandeliers
and a strike pad,
a match, now light me up till I melt like wax

Hang me up in your living room
leave me on all day
Till one night you left the key above the mat
and all the neighbor hoodlums came, they watched me fall
knocked me right off the wall, and all

Pack your bags
we're going north
or south or east or anywhere but here
don't kiss me
don't miss me
Cause I'm a loser and I feel bad for making you stay

I'm here to shed light
on the things you've done wrong but feel no shame for
So hang me up and leave me on
don't leave the key outside this time I don't wanna fall
Tired of hitting the floor, the floor

Well I sit here while you fall down
and I call you out cause you fear the truth
it hurts sometimes but not all the time
for how much you lie
Don't cry now that you've pried out
a darker side of me you don't like
I'm here to stay and it's my way
we're gonna live by, we're gonna live by

Don't cry now you let your pride out
to play a dangerous game
where losers and abusers
collect to talk about the fun in hurting everyone

String me up in the middle of town
tell everyone I'm a witch
when they knock me down, we'll both fall to the ground
cause I am you and you are me an we're a goddamn family, you see

Well I sit here while you fall down
and I call you out cause you fear the truth
it hurts sometimes but not all the time
for how much you lie
Don't cry now that you've pried out
a darker side of me you don't like
I'm here to stay and it's my way
we're gonna live by, we're gonna live by

about

Box Seattle, Washington

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
