Scientist Studies

[Verse 1]
What ghosts exist behind these attic walls?
There's got to be a simpler explanation
'Cause I scrimped and I saved just to find
That they've been splicing my inventions
Cold skin and bones at this latitude
We ain't paying 'til the heat comes through

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
Promises of payments were
Upon your shoulders constantly
But don't forget to entertain
'Cause this is your first defense
This is your first defense

[Outro]
This is a first defense
This was a first defense
This is my last defense
