lyrics

I can't tell from the backs of the houses
through the train windows, am I close to home
beige little boxes pressed in close together
beige little boxes I could never own

all laid bare
the ugliest parts of my town
all laid bare
the ugliest parts of my self
all I feel
is rolling away from the past
all I want
is to escape this hell

I've been gone for too many days now
I've been down on a darkened road
lived underneath the beige little boxes
took what I believed I was owed

all laid bare
the secrets we keep out back
all laid bare
the secrets we keep inside
all I want
is to curl up in my bed and to cry
all I've done
is tell myself I tried

all laid bare
the emptiest parts of my self
all laid bare
the ugliest parts of my heart
all I know
this mixing inside of my head
all I've done
is try to make a start

you've been trapped in a beige little box love
fences away from the tempting tracks
you're better off turning tail to the window
once you leave it's hard to find your way back
