lyrics

Living life inside a box
Can be deadly safe if your shy
The world outside keeps on turning
Won't be long before life passes you by

Maybe tomorrow, you tell yourself
You'll bite the bullet and be somebody else
Take the chance get up and run
But with you tomorrow never comes

I'll try another way
I won't give up on
Searching for you
Looking for a remnant of your mind beneath this shell
Won't wait another day
Of living behind
Walls of fear that tie me to the ground
I won't break down again, never again

Someday soon you'll realise
The sun is lower and it aint gonna rise
Time is fleeting you're getting old
So you better stop doing what you're told

One of the crowd, one of the many
Stumbling through trying to numb the pain
Of being nothing like everyone else
Just a passenger on this ghost train

I'll try another way
I won't give up on
Searching for you
Looking for a remnant of your mind beneath this shell
Won't wait another day
Of living behind
Walls of fear that tie me to the ground
I won't break down again, never again

My message to you son
Is pick up the buck and run
Don't be satisfied
Don't ignore the words I say
For there will come the day
Where you'll regret your life
