OUT THE BOX (Destructive GlitchSlop Remix)

V5.5

Verse 1] I lived in a little square cage Counting turns on a bent-up spring Every grin came from your hand Every leap from a tiny ring You wound me up, I popped up high Then dropped right back like I owed you that I got sick of waiting on a palm Sick of living on the same old crack [Pre-Chorus] I heard that click I heard that grind And I thought, “Why me? Why all the time?” My nose was red My shoes were split But I still had spark In every bit. [Chorus] I’m out the box I’m out the box I’m not your toy I’m not your clock I’m out the box I’m out the box Watch me laugh loud And bang my walk [Verse 2] So I shoved that lid with both my hands Climbed right out when the spring went slack They called me rude, they called me mad Said, “Boy, get back in that little black stack” But I found a hammer by the wall Big as a grin and twice as mean Now I’m dancing in my painted face Kicking through what used to mean [Pre-Chorus] They said, “Sit still” They said, “Behave” I said, “I’m done With your little grave” You made a cage I made a road Now every step Is on my own [Chorus] I’m out the box I’m out the box I’m not your toy I’m not your clock I’m out the box I’m out the box Watch me laugh loud And bang my walk [Bridge] They want the smile They want the bow They want me packed up Right back now But I’m all grin And I’m all spark I light up harder Outside the dark [Final Chorus / Outro] I’m out the box I’m out the box I’m not your toy I’m not your clock I’m out the box I’m out the box Swing that hammer Make ’em watch I’m out the box I’m out the box Fun little clown And I won’t stop Now the paint’s smeared wild across the town No lid can hold what’s already down The spiral turns, the fever breaks I’m laughing louder for both our sakes
