Maia Moham - Fences Lyrics

I've been building up barricades to cope
Drowning parts of me that can't stay afloat
I've been dangling colored eyes and stones
To keep out the monsters
I've been living behind a weak facade
Of a warrior who is always strong
Fit to fight anyone too close
But I go weak when it seems like
Everyone is up against us
When we gonna drop our fences
How we gonna know
How we gonna know to let go
To let go, how we gonna know
How we gonna know to let go
Treat ourselves with only silence
Numb ourselves with mindless violence
Do we wait around and fear the unknown
Whispered promises, rituals at night
Leave us questioning if it's worth the fight
We are paralyzed, looking to escape
Our cowardice suffocates
Unwrap my bones and let them move
Drop these fences
Give me a reason to break through
When we gonna know
When we gonna know
When are we gonna know
Do we wait around and fear the unknown
Everyone is up against us
When we gonna drop our fences
How we gonna know, how we gonna know to let go
Treat ourselves with only silence
Numb ourselves with mindless violence
Do we wait around and fear the unknown
