Box It, Hold It

[Verse 1] You say you “kinda messed up” Like you scuffed up a shoe But there’s glass on the carpet And it’s all from you You call it “just a moment” I call it what it is You wanna change the story I’m handing you the script [Chorus] Box it up All your pretty Twisted excuses Tape it shut Write the label that it uses Hold it up Right there under your own nose Breathe it in That’s the garden that you chose [Verse 2] You dress it up as “pressure” You call it “just a phase” But every time you lose it Someone else pays You wanna skip the ending Pretend it fades to black But I’m freezing every frame And playing it back [Chorus] Box it up All your pretty Twisted excuses Tape it shut Write the label that it uses Hold it up Right there under your own nose Breathe it in That’s the garden that you chose [Bridge] This is not cruelty This is a mirror This is your breath Getting thicker Getting clearer You taste that sting? That’s the truth you never spoke You call it harsh I call it hope [Chorus] Box it up All your pretty Twisted excuses Tape it shut Make it heavy when it closes Hold it up Right there under your own nose Breathe it in Till your own bullshit blows (Breathe it in) Till the lie in you Goes
