The Box
Abney Park

From the day she was born they brought her to it

It had opaque walls and a lid locked tight

She spent all of her life picturing what was inside

This perfect world that its walls did hide


And they said, Can you see inside the box?

Can you be just like one of us?

For those who can see inside the box will live forever

And all the rest are dying soon.


When she came of age she stepped to the outside

Told her family that she couldn't see

I spent all of my life picturing what was inside

This perfect world that its walls did hide.


And she said, I can't see inside the box

I can't be just like one of you

For those who can see inside the box will live forever

And all the rest are dying soon

I can't see inside the box.


When she told them so, they started to panic

They asked her please, begged her to lie

No longer can we talk to a heathen such as you

This perfect world has its walls locked tight.


And they said, Can you see inside the box?

Can you be just like one of us?

For those who can see inside the box will live forever

And all the rest are dying soon.


Can you see inside the box?

Can you be just like one of us?

For those who can see inside the box will live forever

And all the rest are dying soon.


I can't see inside the box!
