Lyrics

Sun in a Box

I stand taller when I can barely stand at all
I just take my pride and fold it then fold it again
Till it's smaller than small
Take it easy, it's not like I'm blaming this on anybody else
I can lie and say I'm holding it together
but sometimes I scare myself

I'm a sun in a box
A dream in the air
A king buried in gold
A cry in the middle of nowhere
A sun in a box and time is sinking in sand
With my wings tied to my own hands
And I'm so lost
I'm a sun in a box

If a dream crashed down but nobody heard it fall
Did it exist at all or did brick after brick after brick
Finally build me a wall
Take your turn, come on stand up and judge me
I will wear a suit and tie
You will see that I'm just like everybody
Cool on the outside shaking on the inside

I'm a sun in a box
A dream in the air
A king buried in gold
A cry in the middle of nowhere
A sun in a box and time is sinking in sand
With my wings tied to my own hands
And I'm so lost
I'm a sun in a box

And I want to see the clouds way down below
To see the green and blue and gold
Of the forest in the trees, the seven seas
And the color of a happy soul
If I could breathe that air, a mighty stubborn breath I'd hold
And If I faded fast or slow
I would never go

Back to a sun in a box
A dream in the air
A king buried in gold
A cry in the middle of nowhere
A sun in a box and time is sinking in sand
With my wings tied to my own hands
Find me I'm lost

I'm a sun in a box
