Mija
Your fantasy world is holding you back

Mija
You know that I'm fair
I cut you some slack
But, this is getting out of hand
If you're not careful you'll be band
I am only thinking of your future

Mija
You are creative
That I adore

But, Mija
This world demands you be so much more
You will not be the fool of the academy
I think you need a check of reality
So I think this summer you'll be going

Going where?

In three months time
You should be fine
I checked this camp out online
You'll make some friends
By summer's end
They'll help you blend
They'll help you

Think inside of the box
Be normal
Science, schedules and stocks
More formal
In the age of Tiktok
I find it hard to relate to you
Life can be great if you

Think inside of the box
Just try it
By the fall you'll be shocked
Deny it all you want
But the clock is ticking
You're growing up
So you're going upstate for a while

Mama!
Science, schedules and stocks?
My neurons tend to block
Anything so boring
I'll be snoring
I'm a weirdo
I'm a weirdo
My biggest fear though
Is you not being proud of me

I like fantasy books
I love the way that they hook me in
With convoluted backstories
I try to merge
But I diverge
I just can't help it
I can't

You have to
Think inside of the box

I've tried
But my imagination just knocks me off of my axis
I think it rocks
But when my

Quirkiness bubbles
It gets me (you) in trouble
Can't (just) think
Inside of the box

I'm sorry
I go fast like a fox or Ferrari

What?

I play switch or xbox or atari

I put mustard on my calamari

I stare stunned at the sky when it's starry
I like being a geek and bizarre

Luz!
I just want you to be able to have a normal life
A good life
A better life than I ever imagined
This is step number 1

You're right, mom. I'm sorry
I'll think inside of the box
For you, the science, schedules and stocks, I'll do
Cause when reality knocks
You answer the door
And you've given me so much more
So I'll think inside of the box

Think inside of the box

By the fall you'll be shocked

I love you, mija

I love you too, mama
