Shrinking Violets by The Pica Beats Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born red with blush no face can feed
The color of a ponzi scheme
And recognize, all hands have hooks
Pop risk with a pistol pointing south
There's sand in the river's mouth
So ride it out, there's still time to swim
And they've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
[Chorus]
Come breathe with a poor man's paper doll
That was buried in the leaves last fall
And raking will, bring to the surface again
Some distances are meant to be crossed
Some are shrinking violets
Some of us, don't pretend at all...
'Cause they've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
[Bridge]
So you got the courage now
To write a love song without one metaphor
It's power drill
It's a carbide cone with a sharpened edge
And an electrical cord
See it reaching, don't reach out
Far far away
So you got the cool eye now
You're looking out for one while everyone
Keeps their cool eyes on you
They're on a tight ship down like a tiger paw
With retractable claws
See it reaching, don't reach out
Far far away
[Chorus]
Come breathe with a poor man's paper doll
That was buried in the leaves last fall
And raking will, bring to the surface again
Some distances are meant to be crossed
Some are shrinking violets
Some of us, don't pretend at all...
'Cause they've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
Born red with blush no face can feed
The color of a ponzi scheme
And recognize, all hands have hooks
Pop risk with a pistol pointing south
There's sand in the river's mouth
So ride it out, there's still time to swim
And they've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
[Chorus]
Come breathe with a poor man's paper doll
That was buried in the leaves last fall
And raking will, bring to the surface again
Some distances are meant to be crossed
Some are shrinking violets
Some of us, don't pretend at all...
'Cause they've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
They've had enough (they've had enough)
