Boxing

I weighed the boxes that were stacked on top of me
 And I decided that they're empty company
 Whole house is folded like a bad facsimile
 Of all the life that it once held
 On second thought, I guess it's not worth mentioning
 But I turned my head and missed a quarter of a century
 To frameless arguments and weak-walled jealousy
 I've been dying to dispel
 And I may never mend these fences I forced down
 While I was boxing
 Burying the weaknesses in me
 Always boxing
 Never put an end to anything
 I set a fire to my faults when I was young
 It's burning brighter with each bitter song I've sung
 I'm to the point where I find flaws in everyone
 And I omit my own mistakes
 Prone to wander in my wild duplicity
 Prone to punish anyone with faith in me
 Until I cage the beast that I've been acting
 Correct the mess it's made
 And I may never mend these fences I forced down
 While I was boxing
 Burying the weaknesses in me
 Always boxing
 Never put an end to anything
 I've been dead more than I've been awake
 I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint
 I've been dead more than I've been awake
 I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint
 I've been dead more than I've been awake
 And I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint
 I've been dead more than I've been awake
 I've been a sinner more than I've been a saint, oh
 But that is going to change
 But not while I'm still boxing
 I'm always boxing
