DEFENDER'S RAP

• I know you're tryin' to hide under your covers to feel safe,
• I know you're tryin' to numb all your inner self-hate
• But whenever you break down feelin' all the pain
• Know it's never too late; I'm here for you always.
•  
• Moved into my apartment last week; my bags were heavy.
• Threw em' in through the door, chest compressin' with anxiety.
• The true horror of the American dream is becoming a hoarder
• Trippin' over these hoards of overwhelming emotions; welcome to my headquarters
• Faucet drippin' flooding this headspace with rogue memories, drowning in regrets
• Stuck in the middle of a shipwreck, sucking in water without a lifevest
• Sinking in my emotions while my depression is suffocating my oxygen
• Staying on my bedroom floor cuz, thinking is paralyzing; so I'll just lay here frozen.
•  
• I know you're tryin' to hide under your covers to feel safe,
• I know you're tryin' to numb all your inner self-hate
• But whenever you break down feelin' all the pain
• Know it's never too late; I'm here for you always.
•  
• He follows me like a swift stocker in a grocery store keeping pace.
• When I turn around to see his face, I realize that was a mistake,
• Flashbacks, He's been here for years, reminding me these fears I can't escape,
• But these past few I've been like a bird in flight mood, ridin' on airplanes.
• I've been hiding on the down low, but he's finally found me here,
• He's a dualist, quick on the draw, with shots going through the thickest of skin
• The remains are buried six feet under where my carcass withers
• The past is my casket n' the funeral is over; fear won fair and square.
•  
• I know you're tryin' to hide under your covers to feel safe,
• I know you're tryin' to numb all your inner self-hate
• But whenever you break down feelin' all the pain
• Know it's never too late; I'm here for you always.
