My Defense

My Defense

Ace Troubleshooter
(album: It´s Never Enough)

Don´t put all Your hopes in this flesh
This flesh, this mess I am
Empty promises my steady diet
Won´t be quiet till I
Spread so thin devotion
Thus far my notions rant
Don´t put all Your hopes
Don´t put all Your trust in me
You must not see I can´t

Set the sights on failing
Target no control
Grips relax and lose hold

I lose my defense at Your answers
And I come all undone with Your gaze

Sunless skies this progress
Thicker skin can´t stretch the length
Wearying with face set against the elements
Is how I spent my strength

Set the sights on failing
Target no control
Grips relax and lose hold

I lose my defense at Your answers
And I come all undone with Your gaze
I lose my defense at Your answers
And my resolve at Your counter ways

I can´t run forever
With the lions loose on me
Show us no escape
Lest we forget we´re dying
Fill my mind with Your thoughts
My lungs with Your breath
My mouth with Your words
My soul with Your death

I lose my defense at Your answers
And I come all undone with Your gaze
I lose my defense at Your answers
And my resolve at Your counter ways
