lyrics

I was so gentle
as a boy
drove me mental
all the noise:
“thicken up your skin and harden up those bones
it’s time for you to be large and loud and cold”

hold up high your boulder
you are getting older
now’s the time for you to feel
the ice inside your shoulders

stiffen up now, soldier!
you must be a bolder
version of you
wherever you enter, don’t you let them catch ya
bein tender

all around me
they wear they kindness like
an ill-fitting cardigan
now this again
another nice guy
but he makes your blood curdle
inside his mind there’s the same damn voice
from the car commercial:

hold up high your boulder
you are getting older
now’s the time for you to feel
the ice inside your shoulders

stiffen up now, soldier!
you must be a bolder
version of you
wherever you enter, don’t you let them catch ya
bein tender
