Boxer Lyrics by Elliott Green

Everything I Lack

2023

Jump off a building, I’ll take the fall
Like a bird in a cage, flightless against the wall of your room
I’ve got nothing to prove, I’m an actor
Sunken eyes, you’re wrapping your hands with a sinewy strand the best that you can
But you’re bleeding out, falling down from your stance, you’re a boxer

Tell me who clipped your wings, placed you under that glass
Who quelled your fire to make you so harmless
And tame like like an animal locked in a cage
Who stole the once rosy glow from your face

Ten miles high on a balcony you sit smoking your last cigarette of the evening
Choke on the ash while you look at the sky, the smoke dancing
All alone in a queen size bed, did you fill the space that my body left
Are you happier now than you ever were then? You’re a champion

Are you reborn did you find the light from before
Pull it out from my eye to take what’s yours
Did you find some holy retribution at my expense
Are you the lucky one
Left holding the gun
After it’s said and done
Are you absolved of all fault? Far above it all, such sagely wisdom so devout

Is this what you call love or as close as it gets
To use everyone up until they’ve got nothing to give
You say you want love, that’s not what you’ll get
You get something that’s tolerable and then you live with it
