Boundaries from Stuffed Animals by Ryan Caldwell

My apple is covered in carnauba wax
The queen of waxes
And that wax creates a boundary
If only for light, makes it shiny

But all it takes is some vinegar
A few short minutes, And you can be sure
That the wax will be no more
The wax will be no more
The wax will be no more
Yeah

Your house it has a perimeter
4 walls two doors
And that house creates a boundary
Separates you from me.

But all it takes is a single brick
A garage code, Or a lock pick
And that house has an open door
It has an open door
It’s got an open door
Sure

Your time you build a fence around
With razor wire
And that fence protects a boundary
Because your time is not free

But you better know that one phone call
A single email, there are no walls
Was there a way to forestall?
Is it all just your fault?
People crossing lines
Only drawn in your mind
Only drawn in your mind
Only drawn in your mind
Yeah

This time you won’t be surprised
The whole ordeal opened up your eyes
About those boundaries
To defend your sanity

For if you can’t protect your walls
Why did you put them there at all
This time you won’t be caught off guard
I don’t think it’d be taking things to far
To forge those fences out of fire
(light them all on)
You just want to inspire
(just wait tune in)

Like a rattle on a snake
(his his snake snake)
Like a stinger on a bee
(fucking honey)
They’ll take what they can take
(all they can take)
They won’t take any more from me
(any more from)

And as far as I’m concerned
(do not be con )
Some people must be burned
(light one up for me)
And their ashes will create a boundary
