The Unprotected - Cavalier King

i live a sheltered life

i live a strange life

like everything is perfectly arranged for me

i just survive here

i never thrive here

i’m in a culture of mediocrity

i live a sterile life

i live a safe life

so i will never feel pain or suffering

i never cry here

i never try here

i’ll never reach my full capacity

i want the real thing

i want the unprotected

i want the feeling that i am still alive

i want the real thing

i want the consequences i want the feeling that i am still alive

what would your mommy say what would your daddy say

if they knew we’ve been playing all night

long here why don’t you take it off

why don’t you tear it off why don’t you show me

something i’ve never seen before

i want the real thing

i want the unprotected

i want the feeling that i am still alive

i want the real thing

i want the consequences

i want the feeling that i am still alive

give me the suffering

give me the bleeding

i’ll take the pain and turn it in to ecstasy

i have to face the fear that i may die here

die having never really lived for anything

i want the real thing

i want The Unprotected

i want the feeling that i am still alive

i want the real thing

i want the consequences

i want the feeling that i am still alive
