Lyrics
UNPROTECTED by Julia Messenger
Why do I feel so unprotected?
What's with all those childish games?
Why don't you screw yourself in your bed?
Would it feel the same?
What do I do with all these questions?
Running so wild through my head
Do you propose I find the answers?
Or are they better rested?
CH:
Now I feel so unprotected
And I feel so scathed and scorned
'Cause I got what I been wanting
But what I want is gone...
How do we rage against the numbness?
Silence is deadly in the fire
Touching my mind I saw compassion
And pitied your cold heart
CH:
Now I feel so unprotected
And I feel so scathed and scorned
'Cause I got what I been wanting
But what I want is gone...
BRIDGE:
How do we come to such a standstill?
How do we fight in such a war?
How do we dream with broken arrows
When the dream is gone...
Now I feel so unprotected
And I feel so scathed and scorned
Coz I got what I been wanting
But what I want is gone
What I want is gone..(repeat)
