Battle Scars and Angels

(ohhh, mmhm)

Raised on broken asphalt where the cold winds bite Learned to swing

my fists before I learned to write Every scar across my chest

is an iron plate Built a beast in the glass just to

carry the weight Then you walked through the smoke with your open

hands Trying to wake the man underneath the wreckage,

understand?

I see the man behind the stone,

I see the beating heart

You don't have to tear yourself apart in the dark Let the

bells stop ringing out your pain

I will pull you through the wreckage and the pouring rain

(yeah, through the rain)

I keep fighting off the quiet when the night gets steep Climbing

towers in my mind while the city sleeps Look down at the

street below, fighting for my life Scared that all my jagged edges

cut you like a knife You look past the armor,

see through the disguise Searching for salvation in a shattered man's eyes

I see the man behind the stone,

I see the beating heart

You don't have to tear yourself apart in the dark Let the

bells stop ringing out your pain

I will pull you through the wreckage and the pouring rain

I'm terrified to lose this war!

(I'm holding onto you) I don't wanna be that monster anymore!

(Listen close, the choir is breaking through)

(Breaking through...)

Take the beast away,

leave the man to stand (I will pull you

through) Standing in your light with an open hand (No more pain,

no more rain)

(I'm holding onto you)
