DEFENDER'S RAP

• You noticed I was susceptible, you picked me like a vegetable
• And now I’m surprised by your absence when we at one time were inseparable
• “It’s my fault for sure (shore)”, you swept me from the bay
• Into a hazardous thunderstorm I shoulda seen from miles away
• What else can I say? You took the wind out my sails, no lifeguard on duty
• Lord tell me how I fell captive to this majestic beauty?
• Soundin’ love “sirens” at me, now I’m a mariner in the sea
• I thought you was a mermaid, now I’m chokin’ and can’t breathe
• Friends believed I was gullible, so they left me for dead, mutiny
• It was tough to find nourishment when the island I was left on provided fruitlessly
• Lunacy moved ruefully through me, for the next 5 months I saw visions lucidly
• Of you with a new guy havin’ the time of your life, it made me wanna write my love life’s eulogy
• I failed to adapt, so I gathered lumber and built a raft
• It took time to craft, but I drifted that wood out to sea and never looked back
• To get to the treasure on the map, sometimes you gotta get attacked
• Pillaged and ransacked of everything but the clothes on your back, your village burnt til’ the landscape’s charcoal black
• She got me talkin’ like a pirate, cause she raided my chest
• My heart was missing, so I reunited with me hearties and went on a quest
• To the Atlantic coast to find the key in the west with minimal food and hammock rest
• It was my only hope to unlock new possibilities and fill this unprecedented abscess
• We ate, drank and were merry under pink skies
• But when they didn’t subside, we knew by sunrise they were a warning sign
• At half past 9 some tentacles arise, the ship was unaligned, so we were kraken the whip til’ that thing died
• Runnin’ rampid blastin’ cannons to ensure we didn’t have to jump ship and swim for our lives
• Daylight began to fade, Jolly Roger was unscathed
• I thank Neptune every day that the crew and I survived this tirade
• It was at this moment I no longer cared about finding the keys to love
• Cause a loyal crew and a low tide provided the perfect opportunity for my brain waves to ease up
