DEFENDER'S RAP

• I swear to God man this happens every time that I get close
•  
• Put my life in your hands and watch my future just unfold
•  
• A wise man once told me
•  
• Just slow down and take a breath
•  
• Stepped out for a smoke
•  
• And I guess that's when she left
•  
•  
• And I lit this whole place up
•  
• And watched it burned to the ground
•  
• Cause this house is not a home
•  
• And there's nothing left here to ever be found
•  
• I took apart these walls all the holes and plaster
•  
• Cause every time that I patched them it just felt like disaster
•  
•  
•  
• Ain't it crazy how you can love someone and hate them at the same time
•  
• In the same breathe you curse em and you praise them in the next line
•  
• But I never stopped to wonder when it got so hard to breathe
•  
• And a quiet little space was all that I needed
•  
• But nobody cared to even ask if I was fine
•  
• So I wrote it all down and put it in the back of my mind
•  
• And I locked up and threw away the only key I could find
•  
• I guess I'll do my best to do it better next time
