my first time experimenting with some reggae flavor.
lyrics
how could you ever be so hollow
why don't you just start to love
they all came back trembling like before
all came back knocking at my door
we all want to escape
so let your defences down
starting out is like starting over
when you don't have that much to lose
they still came back thinking its the end
still came back standing tall again
we all want to escape
so let your defences down
let them down, let them down
we all want to escape
so let your defences down
