DEFENDER'S RAP

• The light at the end of the tunnel in the cave
• Was only a mirage, a set up, it was fake
• I stood frozen stiff and felt my memory erase
• As the bright side of everything enveloped me in flames
• We build weapons, armies, battlegrounds
• But in the end it all comes back around
• We forgot the past that influenced everything that happens now
• Consider that the words comin out ya mouth may be diggin up graves and pourin ashes out
• Turn the key and walk in through the door
• Into the home that once was where I ain’t live anymore
• And all my old belongings got me feelin so nostalgic
• The concept of progress was just a broken promise
• I’m climbin up the tree of life as limbs break
• It’s insane what I thought was true colors was just chipped paint
• They want me to switch lanes back to the future
• Back to the puppet show through apps and computers
• They promised a better future that was a rumor
• Now it’s wastelands through which we have to manuever
• It was all just a dream now I have to get up
• They can’t fit my childhood in the back of the truck
• Now that’s enough of that I gotta pull myself together
• Take one final look and leave my world behind forever
