Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Boxes and lists
Chained to my skin
Burns like a fossil
Incapable of escape
Oh, boxes and lists
Shifted under our beds
Twisting in my head
Like a Nazi war film
[Verse 2]
And like pretty girls
Oblivion exists
Boxes filled with lists
We will never cross
Boxes and lists
Will dig their own graves
Like unwanted memories
Always drag me down
[Verse 3]
A final list of things
To form into a wish
A box of rain to end my days
A lion for you to share the blame
Of trouble, cascading misfits
[Verse 4]
And like pretty girls
Oblivion exists
Boxes filled with lists
We will never cross
Boxes and lists
Will dig their own graves
Like unwanted memories
Always drag me down
[Verse 5]
And like pretty girls
Oblivion exists
Boxes filled with lists
We will never cross
Boxes and lists
Will dig their own graves
Like unwanted memories
Always drag me down
