One More Box

about

For the grind.

lyrics

Working long hours underneath the warehouse lights
Where it's never quite day and it's never quite night
Counting the hours until the time is right
Gotta get that pay; can't afford to sleep tonight

Sleep a couple hours in the bright daylight
Run a couple errands while there's still a little time
Sun goes down; I'm ready to fall asleep in bed
Now it's time to go to work; got a long week ahead

Paycheck arrives but it's never enough
Half a day goes by and there's almost nothing left
Food and gas and smoke, bills and car repairs
It just never fucking ends; clinging on for dear

Life, it sucks and then you die
Work your ass off because your basic human rights
Are nowhere to be found; you aren't even allowed to live
Without slaving away until you're old, worn and sick



Working long hours underneath the warehouse lights
Where it's never quite day and it's never quite night
Counting the hours and there's no end in sight
Gotta get that pay and feed the family tonight



One more box
Just one more box
One more box
And one more after that

Never mind how many hours
They're all inside your head
And don't try to keep count
Time moves quicker without it

There is only this moment
Let them come and let them go
Become one with pain and effort
Lose yourself in a state of flow

Because it's all one more box
Just one more and another more
One day you'll be off
And come back tomorrow for one day more

Just one more week
That's all we need
Just one more week
Then the cycle repeats

So groove with its rhythm
And move with the beat
Don't sit down for a moment
Momentum is all you need



Every box, every day, every week, every year
Take it one at a time, right now and right here

about

millicow Kansas City, Missouri

love.

A style all of its own, inspired by rap, hip hop, synthwave, classical music, heavy metal, black metal, synthpop, and more.

Packed full of finely crafted sounds, textures, melodies, rhythms, harmonies, and conscious, insightful poetry, I translate spirit into sounds that aim to induce states of psychedelic trance and emotional catharsis.
