Lunyxx - Folly Lyrics

"You think you can make it on your own?
That you're all knowing?

You'll just be another pregnant junkie, better get going"

Whoops your mask slipped, now your true colors are showing

But it's pretty clear living here would've denied me growing

So go I did and don't regret it
Taught me some lessons, I won't forget
I gotta sate my need to be independent
And I don't really care if you don't like my methods

So watch me walk out the door, I bet you're floored,
Don't have that punching bag anymore, cause I got bored,
Got enough stuff of my own to deal with, I don't need yours,
You're twisted inside, that's why you call all women whores,

All that hate you misdirect, man it makes me snore,
Dealing with your temper is just such a f*cking chore,
All the lecturing you did? You can bet that was ignored
Living my life for me is how I choose to settle scores,

See, when you're a lion, you don't really need to roar,
Everyone already knows strength's a part of your lore,
Couple that one up with pride and you know you can be sure,
I'll deny all your attempts to make me feel insecure,

So go I did and don't regret it
Taught me some lessons, I won't forget
I gotta sate my need to be independent
And I don't really care if you don't like my methods

I won't just stay where I'm disrespected,
I love myself enough not to be neglected,
So f*ck your path, I'll forge new directions,
And I don't really care if you don't like my methods,

I accept your choice but I won't reflect it,
I'm free, because I have been disinfected,
I'll choose for myself how I'm represented,
And I don't really care if you don't like my methods,

I live without fears of being rejected,
There's nothing you could do that I won't expect, kid,
I'm the one who gets to choose how I'm affected,
And I don't really care if you don't like my methods,

"Baby come with me, I'll set you free,
Offer you loyalty and all that you need,
What's that? You can't fit my mold perfectly?
Okay then maybe it's time for me to leave"

While I don't blame you for your projections,
I've seen enough to have learned my lessons,
Taken myself to some therapy sessions,
Embraced my growth to accept my blessings,

No, you're not the villain when our story's told,
Because I know that both of us led it to unfold,
And there were times, where I too, acted so damn cold,
But I'm more than you paint me, my colors stay bold,

So go I did and don't regret it
Taught me some lessons, I won't forget
I gotta sate my need to be independent
And I don't really care if you don't like my methods

I won't just stay where I'm disrespected,
I love myself enough not to be neglected,
So f*ck your path, I'll forge new directions,
And I don't really care if you don't like my methods,

I accept your choice but I won't reflect it,
I'm free, because I have been disinfected,
I'll choose for myself how I'm represented,
And I don't really care if you don't like my methods,

I live without fears of being rejected,
There's nothing you could do that I won't expect, kid,
I'm the one who gets to choose how I'm affected,
And I don't really care if you don't like my methods,

There's a fire inside that I just can't endure,
A need within that keeps me searching, screaming to procure,
And for a bit, I won't deny that I was feeling unsure,
But in my deepest, weakest moments, think I found the cure,

So now I'm spreading it round like a damn brochure,
Choose to follow by my side, and I'll take you on tour,
And if you choose to come along, no you don't have to be 'pure'
Just know this journey isn't easy for the immature,

There's lots to learn about yourself, that one's assured,
Lots of little things inside we never know we obscure,
We're too afraid to accept them, so we stay demure,
Dress em up in lies to make them look like couture,

You can be free if you just believe,
The you that's alive is the one you perceive,
Can't cloud your sight with negativity,
Asking yourself "Will they accept me for me?"

Don't let it turn into an obsession,
Worrying too much about their perceptions,
That's just a one way trip to depression,
Hiding yourself for the best impression,

Know you're the one who picks the tale that is told,
The one that decides just how for you it unfolds,
Let others prove to you that they deserve your soul,
And put your self out there, shine your colors in bold
