ugly hair and smoky eyes glazy stare like you were crying what did I do to you? alter me and build me new stab my eyes hit me blind it's too bright to hide blur my senses you're burning my retina with the smile that I forgot you had I do not fantasize no no no I do not fantasize stab my eyes hit me blind it's too bright to hide blur my senses I'm caged in a prison unseen I'm caged in a prison unseen I'm caged in a prison unseen I'm caged in a prison unseen I'm caged stab my eyes hit me blind it's too bright to hide blur my senses

Happy 02:46
I'm cheating on my feelings the things in life that made me grow, somehow alternative behaviour doing things that make no sense for now you said ‘go save yourself’ but maybe I'm afraid as hell of being alone how happy are you now? how happy are you now? 'call me when you're sober' a perfect definition of your love 'happy' isn't 'happy' 'satisfied' is not 'alive' I know you said ‘go save yourself’ but maybe I'm aware of how it hurts how happy are you now? how happy are you now? how happy are you now? how happy are you now? how happy are you now? now, now, now, now now

Limbo 03:21
strangers hiding under the familiar even though I'm changing, aging they keep getting stranger is this who I really want them to be? and what for? what for? cut me out a reason to feel better than before but I can't lie find me hiding underneath the paper caught myself in danger made of something unfamiliar this is what I really want but what for? what for? cut me out a reason to feel better than before what for? what for? cut me out a reason to feel better than before but I can't lie better than, better than before better than, better than before better than, better than before better than, better than before better than, better than before (I) better than, better than before (can’t lie) Cut me out a reason to feel better than before

full of what you call a dream I swapped it for my bones I can't move what's too close your eyes look too insecure charmingly they lure they're too black to reflect wrap me up in flowers drown me in your love you dreamed of that dreamed of that dreamed of that full of what you call a dream I swapped it for my hair I can't appear anywhere I can't reach the floor it is way too far above all your dreams and my head kiss me on my forehead place me on your knees you dreamed of that dreamed of that dreamed of that I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach the floor I can't reach it I can't reach it

Window 03:34
I added a smile to the pale reflection on my window glass I stare for a while, a while until I'm tired will you be tired too? who lives in a box? just a lonely stranger? anyone I know? no one's alone like me until I die you wish me the best while taking the best you learn to love your doom the paper boat drowned to the bottom of the lake that's in my mind it's killing the sound for now until I hear screaming who lives in a box? every other stranger? anyone I know? no one's alone like me until I die you wish me the best while taking the best wish me the best while taking the best you learn to love your doom there's only darkness hiding behind these eyes only darkness hiding behind this smile you learn to love your doom learn to love your

It feels like It feels like you should know The inside of me, I never show. It heals me. I don't show my point of view. It haunts me. The wish of being alone. Invisible to you. The urge of leaving home. I feel light. I feel light and aware that silence is all that I can bare. It heals me. I don't show my point of view. (But) I want to. The wish of being alone. Invisible to you. The urge of leaving home. I want to be alone. Invisible to you. I want to leave home. It won't stop. It feels like you should know. I want to be alone. Invisible to you. I want to be alone.

naked creatures they believe in everything on their knees and in their deepest obedience lack of boldness like a bird that's buried alive captured neck deep staring into non-colored eyes do it, do it while I try to run do it, do it while I try to run pollice verso learn to take it honorably feeling needless with a deep need for a relief you don't have to ask if you want to use someone because hidden under a mask they will always beg you to beg you to do it, do it while I try to run do it, do it while I try to run you don't have to ask you don't have to ask you don't have to ask you don't have to ask do it (you don't have to ask) do it (you don't have to ask) do it (you don't have to ask) do it (you don't have to ask)

Your Alien 03:18
when I was your alien I didn't know what's right searching for a warmer beating muscle by my side instinct must have directed me straight into your arms everything was way more simple until I brought you harm but you could have said you're not alone and you could have said you're not on your own I'm obviously a no one to myself I can't live without you, how can you sleep making me see what I don't believe in? I can't live without you, I can’t live without you feeding all these little creatures stuck here in my head they will give me warmth and comfort, that's what you once said would you stay by my side until I'm able to progress holding all my broken bones and hopes against your chest? I'm obviously a no one to myself I can't live without you, how can you sleep making me see what I don't believe in? I can't live without you, I can't I am alone I am on my own but you could have said you're not alone and you could have said you're not on your own

Live With It 03:11
forever the final pick, it's always down to me even though I know what it means I live with it, I live with it I live with it, I live with it usually I'd always smile the brightest of them all but now I know what everyone thinks of me I live with it, I live with it I want to love until I ask the wrong side of my brain and then I start to cry because I am free I live with it, I live with it I live with it, I live with it I could care less about the fear to live and die alone but that would mean that I am not myself so I live with it, I live with it I live with it, I live with it

about

In A Box is ambiguous. Is the box your prison or your hiding place? Do you get claustrophobic when you think about sitting in a noiseless, random, dark box or do you even wish to be in such a place? People cannot be divided or sorted on this question. It is the moments, the feelings, the actions that make everyone react and feel differently. Torn between fear and longing, we tell each of you what we feel and how diverse we feel with this album.
We are not linear, easy to calculate or predictable. We are individual people who react individually. Nobody is allowed to determine what to be afraid of and what to look forward to. Nobody except you. You don't know everything about yourself - neither do we. You may even sometimes wonder why you are just the way you are - we too. You are not alone and this album is meant to help you understand that.
