Defence mechanisms
Reaching for another drink
Anything to numb the mind
To stop having to think
Defence mechanisms
Take another hit
Anything to numb the heart
To stop the nagging part
Defence mechanisms
Have another spin
Gambled with my feelings
So I'll try for a big win
Defence mechanisms
Have some retail therapy
Forgetting all about you
Focusing on me
Defence mechanisms
Could bounce on the rebound
Been there done that many times
Comfort is never found
Defence mechanisms
Snapping at the ones you love
Pushing away everyone
With an angry shove
Defence mechanisms
Anything to fill the void
Stop overthinking
Stop being paranoid
Defence mechanisms
Turn a cold heart into stone
You're just another reason
Why I choose to be alone
