zack de la rouda - fences lyrics

[dan peters]
sitting ’round here time and time again
dealing with these old demons once again
how easily we lock it up, we fence it in
holding out, holding out, we hold it in

sitting around here time and time again
dealing with these old demons once again
how easily we lock it up, we fence it in
holding out, holding out, we hold it in

[zack de la rouda]
look, look
i got so many thoughts in my brain
i ain’t even really tryna share ‘em with you
often i self-censor self-consciously
it’s a awful bad habit
and i’m probably paranoid
but i got more quiet as i grown older
almost like the silence is simpler than acknowledging the obstacles
you could cry on my shoulder
if i wasn’t so tired all night been fighting with the monsters
insomnia leads to exhaustion
i sleep for a week then i wonder where the time went
i want peace but i feed off conflict
the pattern is a rut that i’m stuck in and i’m tryna do the opposite
if i’ll be honest, i’m tryna be focused
all my bad thoughts are products of depression
i haven’t been strong enough yet to admit that to myself
but i’m think i’m getting close to
finally learning from the lessons
what’s the point of life if not to cultivate connection?
nothing more righteous than a true pursuit of friendship
the gr-ss not greener
the problem is the fences (the problem is the fences)

[dan peters]
sitting around here time and time again
dealing with these old demons once again
how easily we lock it up, we fence it in
holding out, holding out, we hold it in

sitting around here time and time again
dealing with these old demons once again
how easily we lock it up, we fence it in
holding out, holding out, we hold it in

[zack de la rouda]
and i got so many walls in the way
i ain’t even really tryna scale ’em with you
it’d be way less effort to just wait forever
we’d be safe and comfortable
but that ain’t what we here on earth for
hold the mirror up
why do we avoid the work ?
why are we subordinate?
why do we confirm to their coordinates?
why’s the world headed for another world war again?
i don’t even know i guess
i’m going through the motions
hold it all together like a yoga pose
it’s hard like a heart of pine or older oak
some like it hot enough to cauterize an open wound
some folks cold like a frozen moat
i’m in the middle yo
sitting on the fence don’t know if to go
left and wind up as depressed
’cause the right way’s wrong like a riddle yo
the pot said the kettle’s cold
and the cat played the fiddle for us
if there’s where the gr-ss is greener
i’m tryna get my pasture cleaned up
i’m past repeating myself
but i’m thinking that the fence is what’s wrong in the first place
for real

[dan peters]
sitting around here time and time again
dealing with these old demons once again
how easily we lock it up, we fence it in
holding out, holding out, we hold it in
