"'Box With Spirits' looks at the architecture of avoidance - the masks we wear, the truths we tuck away, and the small, deliberate choices that keep us from being seen. The title is a careful double entendre: spirits as both ghosts and distilled solace. We go to the liquor cabinet not only to drink, but to defer a reckoning, to soften questions we're not ready to answer; the bottles become companions to the things that haunt us. And why put the heart in that same box? Because hiding it can feel like protection - a way to preserve what's fragile, to shield love from further damage, to parcel pain into something manageable, or even to freeze a version of ourselves we're not willing to lose. In that box, vulnerability is both locked away and preserved; it's a refuge and a prison. The song interrogates that uneasy calculus and the tiny courage required to open the lid and let what's inside be found." - Jake E (vocals)

Lyrics:
You bite your tongue to keep the peace
You beg for time that won't release
You play the part, forget what once was you
You count the lies like counting sheep
You bury hope instead of sleep
You cage your past and call it living hell
'Cause in my dreams
I've been lost, I've been found
I've been running for too long
Come on
So I drop another tear for another lie
'Cause I keep my heart in my box with spirits
I hold my breath and fake the peace
I chase a calm that won't release
I play it right, forget what I once knew
I stitch the cracks with borrowed thread
I dream in black as I feel dead
I hide my truth and call it something new
'Cause in my dreams
I've been lost, I've been found
I've been running for too long
Come on
So I drop another tear for another lie
Cause I keep my heart in my box with spirits
