You hold on hard getting knocked around
Hold on and take a blow right to your face
Lips cracked open with the stain of blood
Could’ve sworn I saw you go for another taste
Black and blue and dripping red
A sweeter pain than the words inside your head
Too pink and raw to be said out loud
Give me sweat and scars on a shining coat of armour
You don’t wanna try
Don’t wanna try
Don’t wanna try
But there’s something in there
That you’ve lost
There’s something in there
That you’ve lost
You beat it out from your aching bones
Beat it into the body of another man
A dance of steel and stone cold eyes
Two faceless friends with iron fists for hands
You let it out but it’s not enough
Beneath your armour you might break
Get up and laugh but it’s all too much
Inside the mind you’re trying to escape
You don’t wanna try
Don’t wanna try
Don’t wanna try
But there’s something in there
That you’ve lost
There’s something in there
That you’ve lost
