Rabbit In the Snare lyrics

by

Talib Kweli


[Verse 1]
Take me back to the days before the fire scorched the hillside
Before every simple moment content was a thrill ride
When the sun would kiss the sweet grass, endless fields
I wasn't able to count the moments left until I'm surely to die

[Chorus]
'Cause when you came along I was quite unprepared
Anytime, could I run?
Could I move you if I dared?
Now in a daze, I'm a rabbit in the snare
Here in a daze, I'm a rabbit in the snare

[Verse 2]
Misread antagonist
Is this the end of a catalyst?
Twist in the plot
Never thought I'd end up so average
To be the one who gets caught
Cold, stranded analyst
Take apart my younger years
Splintered limbs that ache from always running
No one ever said thank you

[Bridge]
No one ever said I need you
No one ever shared my confidence in fate like we do
But when this hillside began to burn, it all changed
We had a family to see to
Take my mind and take my life
I'd trade it all for another memory to cling to
And another morning fresh with spring dew
It gathers on my eyelids like spring dew

[Chorus]
'Cause when you came along I was quite unprepared
Anytime, could I run?
Could I move you if I dared?
Now in a daze, I'm a rabbit in the snare
Here in a daze, I'm a rabbit in the snare

[Verse 3]
Leaving this earth same way I woke up
Speaking indifferently
Feigned the part I was supposed to
Close to dreams that I never chose to chase
Lost the race, it's not fine
Awaiting my fate on this hillside
Seems I've lost touch with who I used to be
And my old self hasn't been quite used to me
How many suns away until it's time?
And if I reach the divine, well that would be news to me

[Chorus]
'Cause when you came along I was quite unprepared
Anytime, could I run?
Could I move you if I dared?
Now in a daze, I'm a rabbit in the snare
Here in a daze, I'm a rabbit in the snare
