Lyrics Gifts & Duties - Salomea

Ja
D'uh uh

Hands tied behind my back
Eyes blindfolded
My mind's on a leash
My thoughts are on strings

It's like my heart's in a net
You took it from me and dropped it
It didn't bounce back, but cracked
Got a little maltreatment at last
Hold on
Uh, twenty four seven it lasted
The pretty pretty picture had crashed, uh

The day those scars have softened
And have lost intensity
It will be stronger than ever
It will be my core and center
Clever enough to fucking never
Surrender again
Uh

The day those scars have softened and have lost intensity
It will be stronger than ever, it will be my core and center
Clever enough to fucking never surrender again

I am sick and tired of obeying
Who in this wide world is worth enough
For me to crawl and cry and lose my saying

I am sick and tired of obeying
Who in this wide world is worth enough
For me to crawl and cry and lose my saying

I am sick and tired of obeying
Who in this wide world is worth enough
For me to crawl and cry and lose my saying

I am sick and tired of obeying
Who in this wide world is worth enough
For me to crawl and cry and lose my saying

Untying my hands
Rising up from my knees
To gather my strengths
And release
Untying my hands
Rising up from my knees
To gather my strengths
And release

It's like my breath is restricted
And my vision paralyzed
It's like my soul is now heavy
And my feelings sterilized

It's like you sat on my will
Face down unable to act
Face down unable to act
Fuck this – I'm able to act!

It's like I'm down on my knees
And I've extended my claws
To sink them deep into flesh
I drove them deep into yours.

Each time I kept hanging on
To one who treated me wrong
To one who wanted to move on
To one whose love was long gone
Clinging on to times that were done
Uh - Isn't that worse than falling down?

I am sick and tired of obeying
Who in this wide world is worth enough
For me to crawl and cry and lose my saying

I am sick and tired of obeying
Who in this wide world is worth enough
For me to crawl and cry and lose my saying

I am sick and tired of obeying
Who in this wide world is worth enough
For me to crawl and cry and lose my saying

I am sick and tired of obeying
Who in this wide world is worth enough
For me to crawl and cry and lose my saying

Untying my hands
Rising up from my knees
To gather my strengths
And release
Untying my hands
Rising up from my knees
To gather my strengths
And release
Untying my hands
Rising up from my knees
To gather my strengths
And release
