lirik lagu boxed in (the squirrel) – amanda rose riley
[verse 1]
i used to live in a tree
and now i live in the siding of a condominium complex
as a squirrel my shelter protects my body from the elements
but these giant decorated wood compartments, they are something else
one for the baby in a crib, one for the cooking
and a little one for all the clothes
they use to hide their skin beneath
[chorus]
why do you want to box yourself in?
there’s a human on the other side of your wall
their head is 7 inches away from your head, and you don’t know them
why do you want to box yourself in?
[verse 2]
they try to get me to leave
’cause i’m a wild animal and that makes me dirty
they like to separate from the outside, they like their privacy
and as i skitter to the other side the suburbs rise up around me
as i realize this building’s the rule, not the exception
this is how humans live, this is their first choice
[chorus]
why do you want to box yourself in?
there’s a human on the other side of your wall
their head is 7 inches away from your head, and you don’t know them
why do you want to box yourself in?
[bridge]
they try to get me to leave
and this time, i sneak into a moving truck
we travel for so long i start to feel sick
but out in the open on the other side is the city
buildings that reach up to the sky, every window compartmentalized
but i see another kind of place now
there’s strangers reading together and eating together
and shyly approaching each other over beer
you know, you don’t have to be so shy
’cause she’s just as lonely as you are
