Steelhearted Bruises

(hmmnnn) (ahhhh) Cold sweat on the concrete floor

Counting up the cracks beneath the door

I built a fortress in my chest But the foundation couldn't take

the pressure, no more

I try to breathe but the walls are caving

(caving) No one left here worth saving

This weight in my chest is tearing me down (tearing me down!)

Heavy metal heart in a ghost town!

Sinking in the static,

lost in the sound

(nowhere to run!)

Screaming at the ceiling till my throat goes raw

Never thought I'd be the one to break the law

Of keeping it together,

keeping it inside

Now I've got nowhere left to hide

(screaming internally)

Just let me fade

This weight in my chest is tearing me down (tearing me down!)

Heavy metal heart in a ghost town!

Sinking in the static,

lost in the sound

(nowhere to run!)

Just

static left... (static)
