Sick Of It All The Shield lyrics

Lowered my shield, lowered - defenses
Happier now feeling - all senses
Heighten my soul and my - awereness
Isn't it great being - defendeless
A long time ago i was - protected
The choise was mine and i - selected
The joy and the pain were - connected
Lowered my shield, now i'm not protected

I never used to let it down
Never used to let it down
I never used to let it down
Never used to let it
There's something i've got to see
I never used to let it down
Never used to let it down
I never used to let it down
Never used to let it

I've got to see what's realy inside of me

Now i understand that emotion
Now i undrstand why ther's commotion
All this time without - a notion
All this time without - devotion
Why waste time being - suspicious
Come taste life it's - delicious
Expose yourself to the - malicious
Expose yourself, they're - so vicious

All these years / will this shield disappear
And will i stand / a stronger man / no shield in hand
I'll have to overcome the pain the best that i can
