Lyrics Open Fist - The Turtle Project

Sting me like a bee and maybe I'll get a little bit angry at the time
But I'll do nothing to retaliate but put it in a rhyme
And beat me to the ground, I won't even make a sound
I'll just accept the situation like it's meant to be
Figure out a clever way to word it later in a melody
Throw your sticks and stones, you could try to break my bones
As often as you please you'll get no rise from me
The only thing I ever hit is these piano keys
So taunt me if you like, I'm no stranger to resisting the bite
You see it's all just inspiration to me
I pacify the conflict when I put it to a beat

I'm an open fist, open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, I'm an open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, I'm an open fist, pacifist

Call me weak if you must, I won't even cause a fuss
I'll forgive you for thinking it's stronger to fight
After all, who am I to tell you wrong from right?
And laugh off my point of view, belittle the path I choose
If it makes you feel better to ridicule
Then go ahead and ridicule and I'll go on singing

I'm an open fist, open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, I'm an open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, open fist, pacifist
I'm an open fist, I'm an open fist
