No Defense

(álbum: Esteem Driven Engine - 1996)

Conflict and jeopardy, I avoid confrontation
I can't dream up the reasons
Why you try to extrude my confidence
I have no defense

Giving no motive to stab me in the back
I've only been your friend for years
And years to come
I have no defense

Is it a joke, cause I'm not laughing
Well I guess it is cause I'm still standing
My ears are ringing as you keep stabbing
Feel free to take hits on me
And don't worry about an apology
Cause it makes you feel good to stand your ground

When it comes to playing the game
You know I'm outta my league
Tongue-tied battered and bruised
I can't get up to speed

And if you make the rules, you break 'em
I feel like a fool who's been taken
Through the ringer
I have no defense

Is it a joke, cause I'm not laughing
Well I guess it is cause I'm still standing
My ears are ringing as you keep stabbing
Feel free to take hits on me
And don't worry about an apology
Cause it makes you feel good to stand your ground

I know it takes some, I know it takes some work
I know it takes some, I know it takes some work
I know it takes some, I know it takes some work
No defense
