forfeiting defences is inspired by a journey of sobriety and consequently feeling everything very viscerally. To be without one's defence mechanisms, to surrender to feeling what is really there, to confront your own inner demons and desires...
lyrics
I'll forfeit my defences
un-picket all my fences
here I am, or so I think?
Until the next drink
I start again
~~~~~~~
I'm burning up inside
got no place left to hide
Is this how it feels to feel something real?
something dangerous...
