Defenseless

(album: Bloodwork - 2014)

Unblinded eyes gazing over the scene
I can't stomach what's happening in front of me
And even if I have to start from the bottom
I'll crawl back to the gates that I was tossed from

Defenseless

When you're gasping for air
When you feel like the world left you in solitary
It's only a matter of time
Before you see what's imaginary

Can you see what's lying here in front of me?
Where the wrong things lead us, will they defeat us?

If I am strong and recognize these wrongs
I can learn from the past to see myself through
To a day and age
Of staring good and evil in the face of truth

This course was presented, adorned with polish
Attractive in every aspect
Paint it red, casted out for good
Clean up the filth, bring us honesty

As giants, we will stand above their lies
We will stand above their lies

Can you see what's lying here in front of me?
Where the wrong things lead us, will they defeat us?

If I am strong and recognize these wrongs
I can learn from the past to see myself through
To a day and age
Of staring good and evil in the face

When you're gasping for air
When you feel like the world left you in solitary
It's only a matter of time
Before you see what's imaginary
