DEFENDER'S RAP

• * He’s all alone; he’s pushed everyone who cares away,
• * And with every minute he’s slowly drifting further astray,
• * Because through his eyes every minute is a rainy day,
• * And until the sun comes out, he’ll just keep drifting further away,
• * It’s the drugs and the alcohol that did it,
• * He thought that they were harmless but then he got addicted,
• * They’re vicious like a snake, now he feels like he’s constricted
• * But if he was to be convicted he knows the damage was self-inflicted,
• * They’ve got a hold of him and he just can’t shake it,
• * He knows that his past is written, but he wishes he could change it,
• * The addiction is killing him and he just can’t break it,
• * And if he had the chance to undo this mess, he would take it,
• * But their grip is getting worse over time,
• * He tells his parents that he’s better but that’s a lie,
• * And even though he thinks that it’s a victimless crime,
• * The victim was him because it’s ruined his life,
• * It never gets better, no matter how hard he tries,
• * He can’t break the cycle of believing his own lies,
• * He wonders if he will ever loosen its hold on him,
• * But then boxes himself in again, by taking that shit again,
