Blowback: Rex Splode’s Last Stand

Yeah... Rex Splode.

Boom goes the pride, baby.

Let’s talk about it.

Raised rough, never gentle, strength was accidental,

Power in my hands but the pain was fundamental.

From the gutter to the frontline, weapon born of wrath,

Toss fists like bombs, clear the motherf**kin' path.

I ain’t your poster boy, ain't polished or pristine,

Just a kid with some baggage and a lit-up routine.

Blew through rivals, yeah I danced with scars,

Fought for a cause that left permanent marks.

See-suhl used me like a fuse with a short wick,

Team Teen days, but betrayal came quick.

Loved Eve, yeah, but I f**ked it all up,

Now she’s light in the sky, I’m just stuck in the muck.

Explosions in my soul, I break then reload,

Torn like my body when the countdown goes.

No mask, no cape, just damage and flame,

Rex Splode, baby, remember the name.

I ain't built for sainthood, but I bled like one,

Every damn mission felt like a loaded gun.

Self-doubt and a short fuse, volatile blend,

Still I stood when most would bend.

Watched the world crumble, watched my friends fall,

Tried to keep pace but I ain't that tall.

Still I punched fate in the face with a grin,

If I lose, I explode, if I win, I sin.

My heart cracked in silence, but my fists still spoke,

Dropped quips like grenades 'til the final joke.

I was never the best, but I was always there,

The one who'd fight dirty if it meant playing fair.

Don’t need glory, just a little damn truth,

Flawed to the core since my reckless youth.

But when that moment came, I ain’t fold or run,

Gave it all, every breath, every ounce, every gun.

That beast came crashing, death at our door,

And I knew what I had, but I wanted more.

A second for Eve, a chance for the rest,

So I charged that core straight into my chest.

One last stand, yeah, I blew sky-high,

Tore that bastard to bits while I said goodbye.

Not for praise, not for fame in the light,

But to buy one more breath for the ones who fight.

Explosions in my soul, I break then reload,

Torn like my body when the countdown goes.

No mask, no cape, just damage and flame,

Rex Splode, baby, remember the name.

So toast the fool who fought with flair,

Left a crater just to show he cared.

I was chaos wrapped in a broken mold...

But I died for love, and that shit was bold.
