The Black Box Lyrics

You hide your face from me, why don't you feel ashamed

And all the while you pretend that it's a game

A speck's in my eye but you have a two-by-four

And you don't seem to care

In public you smile but then as my back is turned

You say that it's unfair

You think you're smooth but I'm aware

So like a dove I'll rise above and peacefully embrace the flight

While looking down and knowing you won't reach this height

I wish you well, but you don't feel the same

For every bump in life you look to me to blame

You look to me to blame

You can't defend yourself from what you can't replace

Blind by the red, a mistake you can't erase

Stronger are they to admit they're wrong

And then work to make it right

Weaker are they to bury their flaws

And disappear into the night

Then whine like a fool at every slight

So like a dove I'll rise above and peacefully embrace the flight

While looking down and knowing you won't reach this height

I wish you well, but you don't feel the same

For every bump in life you look to me to blame

You look to me to blame

Unholy, controlling, you're hoping to be the one who writes our history

Unholy, controlling, you'll never be the one who's satisfied and free

So like a dove I'll rise above and peacefully embrace the flight

While looking down and knowing you won't reach this height

I wish you well, all your problems are the same

For every bump in life you'll have yourself to blame
