BOX

what was it like in that silence
i know what it's like outside now
i think it was louder inside
what did i think about all those years
what fear was i running from
by going nowhere at all
and why did i let this fantastic machine
disable me

i just sat there in the interminable silence
waiting for some sign of light
just some form of real adult life
that made sense and was a step onward
and put the pieces from the past into place
and it never came
i waited years in that box for a salvation
that never came
