I was living in a small mind with no lifeline   And no messages can reach me from the outside   When I looked out over the horizon   Didn't notice the sun was setting or just rising      Then it hit me, maybe bit me   Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me   I didn't know exactly where I would be going   But I had to let this river in me flowing      What a ride   When you open your eyes   For the very first time   A real surprise      I started living outside of the box   Crossing over lines where I always used to stop   Living outside of the box   'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not      I always knew this day would come   When I got off my back, found some motivation   I've been living on the other side   Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive      I was living on a fault line, the fault was all mine   And this unstable ground found me down half the time   But I had enough, I had to get up   I had to shrug it all off 'cause it's the same old stuff      Then it hit me, you won't permit me   To be an individual just doesn't fit me   But I decided that it's going to be living   Yeah, I decided I'm escaping from your prison      What a high   When you open your mind   For the very first time   A real surprise      I started living outside of the box   Crossing over lines where I always used to stop   Living outside of the box   'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not      I always knew this day would come   When I got off my back, found some motivation   I've been living on the other side   Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive      So long conformity   And ambiguality is a new priority   All it takes, for heaven sakes   Is to figure out the face and learn to separate      I started living outside for the box   Taking my time when I always used to rush   Living outside of the box   'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not      I always knew this day would come   When I broke down the walls for my liberation   I've been living on the other side   Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive      Oh, living outside of the box   Oh, living outside of the box   Oh, living outside      Ha ha ha   I always knew this day would come   When I got off my back, found some motivation   Oh, living outside of the box, of the box, of your life   Of everything that seems that nice
