Man In the Box - Alice In Chains

I'm not ever gonna be everything you're asking me to be I won't fit inside your box and there's something about the way you talk to me You think you shrink me down to size You expect me to compromise Are you really even happy? Everybody tells you how to be I prefer to live my life free You can't tell me anything, anything at all I'm not scared to be alone but I can't stand the thought of getting old With nothing left to leave behind cause I chose to stand behind a lie You think I don't see what you do You think I'm never on to you Are you really even happy? Everybody tells you how to be I prefer to live my life free You can't tell me anything, anything at all Are you really even happy? Everybody tells you how to be I prefer to live my life free You can't tell me anything Are you really even happy? Everybody tells you how to be I prefer to live my life free You can't tell me anything, anything at all

Do you want to be hypnotized? All you have to do is move your body In whatever way feels comfortable for you Just let yourself sink into the groove And move Fix your eyes on a spot It doesn't matter where Just fix your eyes on one spot Begin to relax Feel your mind and body Beginning to wind down Wind down, wind down and relax If you have any thoughts Just let them drift through your mind Like beautiful clouds Across a clear blue sky Just through your mind and away from you Through your mind and away As you relax Deeper, deeper and deeper relax Just let go of stress and tension Let go of worry and doubt and relax Imagine a staircase standing in front of you With ten wide, safe stairs Down, down to a perfect relaxation Down to peace and contentment Down towards the happiness that you deserve And as I count down from ten Take one step with each number One step down Ten, nine, eight, seven, six Five, four, three, two, one Deeper, deeper, deeper, relax That's it, just let go, and relax You've stolen my heart, it's true You see the shape of things to come Why give up our lives To the brutes and fools? Tear it all apart You see the shape of things to come Why this, now girl? Will we kill each other? Like Adam in chains I want revenge Like Adam in chains I want revenge Adam in chains (Adam in chains, Adam in chains, Adam in chains) They've broken your heart Oh yeah, they're gonna tear your world apart Why make up a lie And believe it's true? Oh, tear it all apart (I know the shape of things to come) Why this, now girl? Will we murder each other? Adam in chains I want revenge Like Adam in chains I want revenge Like Adam in chains I want revenge Want revenge In the mind of a madman There are colour explosions An eclipse of emotion Why tear our world apart? Why tear it all apart? Why tear our world apart, girl?

I play the clown for you Entertaining, absurd hue As I watch them laugh, I'd love to See them clap and dance to my tune Blowing up like a red giant, expansive, a star And I'm coming to burn this down and laugh my ass off All my children sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winning 'em over Amen I act on stage up here Toying with your own fears Misdirection I'm so near Simple sleight of hand, in the clear Blowing up like a red giant, expansive, a star And I'm coming to burn this down and laugh my ass off All my children sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winning 'em over Amen Too late now, show's over Real life is much closer Take the make up off, you wonder Why I look the same, only bolder Blowing up like a red giant, expansive, a star And I'm coming to burn this down and laugh my ass off All my children sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winning 'em over Amen All my children sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winning 'em over Amen
