[Verse 1] Three big dudes in the lift Door shuts, that’s it Mirror shows sweat on the grin Buttons lit, then it kicks “Breathe easy,” one said But the box got thin Fifth floor stopped moving Now the jokes won’t fit One guy says, “Make room” One guy says, “Man, please” The third one laughs hard Then the panic hits, “Freeze” [Pre-Chorus] Should’ve taken the stairs Should’ve left some space Now we’re shoulder to shoulder In a steel back brace Every tiny breath Got the whole place tight And the air got mean On a dead-end night [Chorus] Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Stuck so tight, no one gets out Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Laugh too hard, then you choke on the cloud Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Push that button, it don’t do much Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Three big fools and the walls too clutch [Verse 2] Phone got no bars One bar, then none Security on the speaker Said, “Help is on the run” Fingers on the vent But the vent stayed small One said, “That ain’t fresh” The next one lost his cool They argued over snacks Over blame, over pride Every joke got weaker Every minute got wide Then the room got rough Like the heat turned up And the only thing louder Was the bad luck stuff [Pre-Chorus] Should’ve taken the stairs Should’ve kept it light Now the whole damn elevator Got no room to fight Every tiny breath Got the whole place tight And the air got mean On a dead-end night [Chorus] Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Stuck so tight, no one gets out Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Laugh too hard, then you choke on the cloud Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Push that button, it don’t do much Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Three big fools and the walls too clutch [Bridge] Red light blinking Floor won’t save ’em now Knuckles on the panel But the silence too loud One last joke, one last grin Then the steel just hums When the doors finally open Everybody’s gone numb [Chorus] Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Stuck so tight, no one gets out Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Laugh too hard, then you choke on the cloud Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Push that button, it don’t do much Trapped in the box, trapped in the box Three big fools and the walls too clutch
