Boxing Songtext
von Empty Atlas

I weighed the boxes that were stacked on top of me
And I decided that they′re empty company
Whole house is folded like a bad facsimile
Of all the life that it once held

On second thought, I guess it's not worth mentioning
But I turned my head and missed a quarter of a century
To frameless arguments and weak-walled jealousy
I′ve been dying to dispel

And I may never mend these fences I forced down

While I was boxing
Burying the weaknesses in me
Always boxing
Never put an end to anything

I set a fire to my faults when I was young
It's burning brighter with each bitter song I've sung
I′m to the point where I find flaws in everyone
And I omit my own mistakes


Prone to wander in my wild duplicity
Prone to punish anyone with faith in me
Until I cage the beast that I′ve been acting
Correct the mess it's made

And I may never mend these fences I forced down

While I was boxing
Burying the weaknesses in me
Always boxing
Never put an end to anything

I′ve been dead more than I've been awake
I′ve been a sinner more than I've been a saint

I′ve been dead more than I've been awake
I've been a sinner more than I′ve been a saint

I′ve been dead more than I've been awake
And I′ve been a sinner more than I've been a saint

I′ve been dead more than I've been awake
I′ve been a sinner more than I've been a saint, oh
But that is going to change

But not while I'm still boxing
I′m always boxing
