Malin Pettersen - Boxes Lyrics

You scream that we are the opposite
What you don't have I'm born with
You blame my fury on my incompetence
To see society through your broken lens

But I've tried to borrow your eyes
I've tried to live in between your lines

Folks try to change their skin
Try to be straight to fit in
Folks try to compromise
But what I realize
Is the world is ours to take
And the rules are ours to break
And the boxes you've been keeping us in
We put fire to them
And they're burning

I see your face everywhere I go
Cynical, scared or skeptical
The wrapping's different but the word's the same
There's no need for a wider frame

Why not let other people be
Who they are just like you want to be free

Folks try to change their skin
Try to be straight to fit in
Folks try to compromise
But what I realize
Is the world is ours to take
And the rules are ours to break
And the boxes you've been keeping us in
We put fire to them
And they're burning
