It doesn't take long
For the illusion to fail
Your first serving
Of an old wives' tale

Questions repressed
With the authority of age
The playpen starts to feel
More like a cage

Soon you're ushered 
To recite old beliefs
And quietly embrace
The science of cloverleafs

Not much further along
You meet with more control
Powers that be want 
The rest of your soul

It's an education
To be read in reverse
It's an illustration of how
The truth will disperse

So I ran into a wall
Broke my nose, bruised my chin
These are the sides       
Of the box that I'm in
And the box that I'm in
Is inside another box
That's next to another cell
In a long line of blocks
By now you can tell
If this story ends well
Or inside another box

Information you're fed
Designed to keep you in line
Just enough of dread
And a sweet dose of anodyne

Opinions discouraged
The elite displeased
Son, don't go poking
At the sleeping beast

It's an education
To be read in reverse
It's an illustration of how
The truth will disperse

So I ran into a wall
Broke my nose, bruised my chin
These are the sides       
Of the box that I'm in
So I ran into a wall
Broke my nose, bruised my chin
These are the sides       
Of the box that I'm in
And the box that I'm in
Is inside another box
That's next to another cell
In a long line of blocks

But sometimes I climb these walls 
Released from these chains 
And freed of time 
With thoughts like fast running trains
Passing over the dull and the mundane
And I float above
And beyond all expectations
Defying gravity
And you'll be there with me

So I ran into a wall
Broke my nose, bruised my chin
These are the sides       
Of the box that I'm in
And the box that I'm in
Is inside another box
That's next to another cell
In a long line of blocks
By now you can tell
If this story ends well
Or inside another box
