My Little Box
Gabriel Mann Lyrics
Silent in my sanity
I live save inside my cell
In the darkness that surrounds me
I see my own special hell
Comfort in my suffering
Feeling warm inside this pain
Before I was coming down on me
I come on down again
I let you win, you come on to me
A chewed out lighten candle
Fell in my cool and empty cave
Somewhere in your world
They tell you this is what the people need
Doing all that shit on me
And leave me here to bleed
Cradle falls
(I live save inside my cell)
(In the darkness that surrounds me)
Unholy walls
Cradle falls, unholy walls
Cradle falls
Silent in my sanity
I live save inside my cell
In the darkness that surrounds me
I see my own special hell
Comfort in my suffering
Feeling warm inside this pain
Before I was coming down on me
I come on down again
You woke me out of my secret grave
You let your pretty world in
Cradle falls
(I live silently inside my cell)
(You woke me out of my sin)
Unholy walls
(You woke me out of my secret grave)
(You let your pretty world in)
Fall...
Now you're in my world
Did you dream it be so small
My little box was perfect
'Till you destroyed it all
My sanctity of sorrow gone
Forever in it's place
The Saccharin sweet of you
Is all that's left to taste
Feeling claustrophobic
Now my world is closing in
Subtle retribution
Where I am and where I've been
I'll take you to a place
You never knew could be
Curled up, in my little box
Cradle falls

"I was a classic high school loser, sitting at home while my parents and brothers and sister went out on weekends. At some point my sister had given me some warped records (she left them on the heater at college), and these were my earliest influences. I’d usually watch “The Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island,” then wander over to the piano and write songs about space. Not emptiness, but like, outer space.

At some point my sister had given me some warped records (she left them on the heater at college), and these were my earliest influences. I’d usually watch “The Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island,” then wander over to the piano and write songs about space. Not emptiness, but like, outer space.
At some point I went to college in Philadelphia, did some music there (I was in an a cappella group called Off the Beat – yes, I know it’s a terrible name – and a killing rock band called Thriphtway named after a grocery store), and started writing songs in earnest while majoring in music composition (even took a class in Debussy and Bartok with George Crumb – only modern music dorks will know who that is). One song from a little production deal I had with Ruff House Records (think Digable Planets) in Philly wound up on my first album, Careen.
I moved to Los Angeles ‘cuz I didn’t really know where else you could make a living as a musician, and soon found myself working as a composer’s assistant and writing my songs in off hours. Made my first album during these off hours, and started playing shows and being a musician for real, kinda late by most people’s standards.
I’ve done a bunch of music industry stuff that people generally like to enumerate in their bios – far be it from me to break tradition. I won the Overall Grand Prize for the USA Songwriting Competition, I was a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, got 2nd prize in the Just Plain Folks awards, & I’ve been one of Music Connection’s top 100 unsigned artists a couple years running. Lots of my songs have been on TV and in movies, some quality, some not so quality (you decide which is which) – Arrested Development, Office Space, Ghost Ship, Road Rules, Real World, Sleepover, The Hills, What About Brian, lots more. I ran down the aisles at the Oscars singing with Ellen. The Diamond Wink tour took me all over Europe opening for Alanis Morisette, and I’ve supported Jamie Cullum & Glenn Tillbrook (Squeeze) touring here in the U.S. Oh, and I opened for the Stones (yup, the Rolling ones) on the road with Tim Burgess in the UK, and I’ve played at lots of music festivals (SXSW, CMJ, V Festival in England). This year I sang on the Oscars, which was a riot. I also write score for video games and TV shows and produce other artists as well (Sara Bareilles’ Careful Confessions and Naimee Coleman’s new stuff, of late).
So I just came out with my Tall Buildings, my 4th full length album. Linus of Hollywood (The Charlatans, Puff Daddy, OPM) produced it, Dave Trumfio (Wilco, OK Go, Rilo Kiley) mixed it, and my usual band of lunatics played it – Adam Marcello on drums, Carson Cohen on bass, and Steve Mazur on guitar. Come see us play music – you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, it’s a riot."

This rhythm and music totally of this song totally match with the scene
Mariam Z
To think some people actually disliked this music with that scene!
Gabreya Bradley
It really does! One of the greatest(and disturbing) montages ever.
Mr. Keevok
What I love about this song is that this song is so mysterious, sinister and ghostly. Maybe that's why it was on the Ghost Ship soundtrack.

This scene was BRUTAL. If you've seen G.S. you know what I'm talkin' about >:)
Johnny G.
This movie made me never eat ANYTHING or drink ANYTHING on a Cruise ship.
Brecconable
@Lucy Swann's Unsafe Space Getting decapitated by cable is not a nice way to go...
Lucy Swann's Unsafe Space
It was a fairly brutal scene, and while I love this song a whole lot; I heard it switching abruptly to the chorus of "Let the bodies hit the floor" at the culmination of the cable scene, in my dark, twisted, heavy metal brain. 💁
MUTHA Scorpio Queen of the World YouTube!
It was hot! Loved it!
Alexander Benz
One of the best scenes I have ever seen in a good horror.
