Came back from the war. The war didn't come back. Scanning doorways at the coffee shop, holding the tether tight.

Lyrics

Yeahhh
Let's get it
Ollifax - came home, still cold
Back in the city, I'm not the same - move quicker
Redline the dash, sip heavy, roll bigger
Hand on the pulse, trust thin like a feather
Say it with the chest: we hold it together
Can't stash the steel - I keep it near for the weather
Pray for the peace, but I prep for the pressure
Crowd moving slow, I'm a metronome stepper
Back to the wall - eyes up - move better
Streetlights hum, but my mind still scans
Doorways, exits, shadows, plans
Dice on payday - small sins, big hands
Three drinks in, still rigid, still stands
Neighbors yawn; I'm already on lap ten
They hit snooze; I'm up before the pen
I don't want smoke - but I smell it in the wind
If trouble comes close, I'm calm, locked in
Heartbeat sync with the kick, no tremor
Discipline sharp, but the edge got temper
Back in the city, I'm not the same - move quicker
Redline the dash, sip heavy, roll bigger
Hand on the pulse, trust thin like a feather
Say it with the chest: we hold it together
Can't stash the steel - I keep it near for the weather
Pray for the peace, but I prep for the pressure
Crowd moving slow, I'm a metronome stepper
Back to the wall - eyes up - move better
Gravel in the throat, but the promise stay clear
I gamble with the chips - not lives, not peers
Ghosts in the rearview fade when I steer
If the night gets loud, I stay crystal, no fear
Park lot check - mirror, door, line
Hands steady now, but the reflex prime
Opportunity knocks? I hope it don't try
Part of me hungry; the wiser says "Why?"
I'm home, but the engine still hums
Cold in the bones, warm blood drums
If I slip, brothers lift - no crumbs
If they test, I don't flex - I go numb
We back in the city - move quicker, think better
Redline the dash, roll smart, hold tether
Steel stays near, but the prayer stays better
Head on a swivel - boots light like a feather
Crowd moving slow - I'm a metronome stepper
From now on, we carry it together
Hands in a circle - oath tight on the leather
Back to the wall - eyes up - move better
Ollifax - home base, still ready
Yeahhh
