Boxing

I weighed the boxes that were stacked on top of me And I decided that they're empty company Whole house is folded like a bad facsimile Of all the life that it once held On second thought, I guess it's not worth mentioning But I turned my head and missed a quarter of a century To frameless arguments and weak-walled jealousy I've been dying to dispel And I may never mend these fences I forced down While I was boxing Burying the weaknesses in me Always boxing Never put an end to anything I set a fire to my faults when I was young It's burning brighter with each bitter song I've sung I'm to the point where I find flaws in everyone And I omit my own mistakes Prone to wander in my wild duplicity Prone to punish anyone with faith in me Until I cage the beast that I've been acting Correct the mess it's made And I may never mend these fences I forced down While I was boxing Burying the weaknesses in me Always boxing Never put an end to anything I've been dead more than I've been awake I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint I've been dead more than I've been awake I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint I've been dead more than I've been awake And I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint I've been dead more than I've been awake I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint, oh But that is going to change But not while I'm still boxing I'm always boxing
