Lady Sloth Fences Lyrics

“FENCES”
By: Lady Sloth
Music and Lyrics: Jonathan Lane & Justina Shandler
I was working out the kinks when I was 25
An open love beginning, an end so near in sight
But in my bed, and with my friend
I wish I never tried
I learned sometimes our love can cross the line
Every day's a battle for the ones who want my time
Like one big game of chicken and no white flags in sight
If seconds were measured in skin alone, I'd be nothing but my bones
This skeleton don't wanna be polite
I hope you don't find it offensive
I'm over here building my fences
My energy is getting expensive now
I hope you don't find it offensive
I'm over here building my fences
Eventually you're gonna figure it out
My day is a sea of constant texts and rings
Doggy paddle, frantically replying to these things
Water lungs, I bite my tongue Swore I'd never sink
I need to not communicate, I think
I hope you don't find it offensive
I'm over here building my fences
My energy is getting expensive now
I hope you don't find it offensive
I'm over here building my fences
Eventually you're gonna figure it out
I build them to the sky
No matter how I try
I hope I won't be left behind
I build them to the sky
No matter how I try
The grass is always greener on the other side
I hope you don't find it offensive
I'm over here building my fences
My energy is getting expensive now
I hope you don't find it offensive
I'm over here building my fences
My energy is getting expensive now
I hope you don't find it offensive
I'm over here building my fences
Eventually you're gonna figure it out
