That's My Defense

Any comments are welcome.  

I re-did the bridge to have "some" type of positive spin.



I don’t know the reason I sleep with my shirt on

I don’t remember why I don’t have a nightgown

I can’t sleep in my bare skin, exposed and naked

Blankets won’t help and I can’t escape it

 

That feeling of being dirty for no reason

I need protection from something unseen

I don’t know what happened and I’m glad that I don’t

But everything is not as it seems

 

chorus

I don’t want to know, what I don’t know

What good would it do me now?

My life would not change and thoughts rearranged

Won’t be a guiding light at the end of a chain of events

I don’t wanna know and that’s my defense.

 

Something long ago was broken inside and hidden

I’m not ashamed why should I be

Memories get erased so I can still be free

Cus nothing that was………….. was about me

 

Bridge

yeah my kids are gonna feel what love is for real,

and pass it on ………..and go on from here


They’re gonna know, what I didn’t know

The touch of my hand is a safe place

Their lives are now changed and thoughts rearranged

Now’ there’s light at the end of that chain of events

Oh yeah they’re gonna know……………. And that’s my defense.

  • I think this has an interesting hook... that's my defense...

    I wonder, musically, if it would benefit from more of an upbeat/funk arrangement, instead of the sadder / ballad backing, something proud/loud/accepting, a case where maybe the musical backing would make a difference in interpretation of the song

    Well, now there's an idea I haven't heard before....... but I'm open to all ideas.

    proud of ?, accepting of??

    You guys want an upbeat funk tune on a ballad on being abused as a kid ? This is still to upbeat to me . I would go minor

    Well, I could do it if I was Michael Jackson, but I'm not. (sigh)

  •  Michael Jackson ? We won't go there

    I meant' in reference to the Man in the Mirror song, which could have been a ballad, but it wasn't but it still delivered a great lyric!

    I know what you meant . Then leave it up beat . nobody really listens to suggestions anyway on any site . Well make a YouTube vid , There is alot of AI songs on them now . Which reminds me time to make one for mine , after spending $350.00 for a mix
