Defensive Lyrics by Hate Dept.

Meat Your Maker

0

Anger whispers when I don't get what I want
When I rest I let go. They still suffer

It's hard to think or use my voice
The scars are deep but no excuse
So change the things that we expect
Say: I get defensive when I know I'm wrong

Tremble in the face of fear. In the throat of danger
Identify the eminent. Recall the past and live again

Find the motion and use my mind
My heart is blind but my eyes can tell
Now live as each new day is your last
And say: I get defensive when I know I'm wrong

Guilt is me who I will violate, and taught to feel
Question that which educate. Pay back if I repeat the ways

Find the strength and test my soul
The ways are mine to embrace or abandon
A man is only what a man will hold
Say: I get defensive when I know I'm wrong
