The Box Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Flynn

Rob lived in a box by the rails 

Only thing he knew, you don't fail 

When you live in a box by the rails 

Don't comb your hair, don't comb your tail 

Sweep my mess away 

Leave my body, leave my bones 

Leave me whole and leave my soul 

Leave me nothing, I don't need at all 

Nothing, I don't need at all 

He ate from the bins in the park 

Stayed out with the rats after dark 

Never left a trail, never made his mark 

When he ate with the rats after dark

Sweep my mess away 

Leave my body, leave my bones 

Leave me whole and leave my soul 

Leave me nothing, I don't need at all 

Nothing, I don't need at all 

Calling on his friends, never made him sad 

Didn't want the things he never had 

It only made them feel so bad 

For having the things he never had 

Sweep my mess away 

Leave my body, leave my bones 

Leave me whole and leave my soul 

Leave me nothing, I don't need at all 

Nothing, I don't need at all 

If you stay in that box overnight 

And don't get out when it gets light 

There's not much lost of the secret life 

That's done wrong and it's never done right 

Photos 

Now some more flowers grow 

The corn gets eaten by a few more crows 

And an old man's box is full of bones 

Won't see his footprints in the stones 

Sweep my mess away 

Leave my body, leave my bones 

Leave me whole and leave my soul 

Leave me nothing, I don't need at all 

Nothing, I don't need at all 

Sweep my mess away 

Leave my body, leave my bones 

Leave me whole and leave my soul 

Leave me nothing, I don't need at all 

Nothing, I don't need at all
