Текст песни Ox and Oaks - Kali Fawkes

It's a bitter pill
To swallow
That there's no one else
To blame
But sometimes
The truth hurts
Most of the time
When someone
Thinks they have
A demon
They're just fighting
Against a part
Of themselves
They refuse to accept
Can you do
What it takes to
Live an honest life
Can you do
The work
Make sure it's applied
Can you do
Things so differently
Than ever before
Can you keep on
Settin boundaries
When it's starting
A war
Can you do
What it takes to
Live an honest life
Can you do
The work
Make sure it's applied
Can you do
Things so differently
Than ever before
Can you keep on
Settin boundaries
When it's starting
A war
I've been spending
My whole life
Avoiding the storm
Stoppin when the skies gray
And waitin for warmth
I got a problem
With adaptive
Coping traits
Malformed
See the trauma
Gave me powers
And I learned
To transform
Into somethin
That can placate
More pleasing
To the rest
Turned me into
A people pleasing
Demon in the flesh
So many years
Flexin my powers
To excess
And now I don't
Know who I am
Or how a boundary's set
Can I get a
Freakin witness
To who I
Used to be
No that doesn't
Really work
Cuz this has
Always been me
I was taught
To stand down
Disappear into the trees
And if somebody
Still sees you
Time to drift
Out to sea
Learned to hide
Behind a smile
A helpful personality
Manipulative tactics
Hiding under morality
Now it's all out war
When I'm setting
A boundary
And I'm always
On guard against
The people surrounding me
Can you do
What it takes to
Live an honest life
Can you do
The work
Make sure it's applied
Can you do
Things so differently
Than ever before
Can you keep on
Settin boundaries
When it's starting
A war
Can you do
What it takes to
Live an honest life
Can you do
The work
Make sure it's applied
Can you do
Things so differently
Than ever before
Can you keep on
Settin boundaries
When it's starting
A war
Ever social situation's
Like a labyrinth
Self policing
Has been feeding
On my bandwidth
Never built up
The currency
For the blacksmith's
So I don't have
Any armor to block
Attacks with
Never starting
A battle I'm not
Equipped to control
Ducking gunfire
And missiles
Cowered in the foxhole
Breaking patterns
Isn't pretty
No flowers and rainbows
A lot of
Pushback, arguements
And damage control
All you knew
About you
Disappears into
A black hole
To deliver her
Compassionate blows
Cut the head
Off of the beast
Of burden
Feed it to growth
Watch the little
Acorns grow into
The mighty oaks
It's a battle
With myself
As much as them
Cuz there's a
Million little patterns
That I need to condemn
With every situation
Gotta do it again
All my people
Pleasers hit me
With that amen
Can you do
What it takes to
Live an honest life
Can you do
The work
Make sure it's applied
Can you do
Things so differently
Than ever before
Can you keep on
Settin boundaries
When it's starting
A war
Can you do
What it takes to
Live an honest life
Can you do
The work
Make sure it's applied
Can you do
Things so differently
Than ever before
Can you keep on
Settin boundaries
When it's starting
A war
You understand
You understand
