The Secret of My Defenses

I used to think I could control myself I've got perfect posture, I'm the picture of health I'm in full command of my abilities I'm not afraid of anything that tries to come at me I climb across all of the highest fences Put all my verbs in all their present tenses All the furthest realms of possibility: I'm gonna plant my feet and make them come to me Feels like I got a kind of blessed existence Mountains crumble at my insistence No secrets, no disguise I see right through those stupid lies Cross your exes, and dot your eyes But don't pretend, and don't deny - I know you wish that you were mine I like to think I can control my senses Conceal the secret of my defenses Protect myself from my deficiencies Find all my beauty in consistency You're looking for another reason Another place, another season One more time I can make it shine In your dirty mind What's yours is mine Till the end of time No secrets, no disguise I see right through those stupid lies So raise your crosses, and close your eyes And don't pretend, and don't deny - I know you wish that you were mine
