Iron Don’t Care

Alarm hits 4 a.m

Truck door slams

Pre-workout burnin’ my lips

Calloused hands

Chalk on my wrists

That bar don’t know I’m tired

It just stares back

Cold and flat

Like

“What you gonna do?”

Numbers don’t care how you feel

Two plates

Three plates

Make it real (yeah)

That steel don’t hug

That steel don’t heal

It only moves for work and will

So load it up

Shut up

Get under

Feel your knees shake

Hear that thunder

‘Cause numbers don’t care how you feel

But they’ll tell you if you’re real

Last set

Lungs on fire

Sweat drippin’ off my chin

Old back pain starts preachin’

“Better rack it

Call it then”

But that screen keeps starin’ back

Same damn weight

I mutter

“One more rep

Old man”

And punch in a higher plate (let’s go)

Numbers don’t care how you feel

Two plates

Three plates

Make it real

That steel don’t hug

That steel don’t heal

It only moves for work and will

So load it up

Shut up

Get under

Feel your knees shake

Hear that thunder

‘Cause numbers don’t care how you feel

But they’ll tell you if you’re real

It don’t know heartbreak

Don’t know fear (nah)

Don’t know long nights

Cheap warm beer

It just knows “up” or “down

” that’s it

Hit the lift or you get hit (hey!)

Numbers don’t care how you feel

Four more pounds

That final seal

That steel don’t hug

That steel don’t heal

It only moves for work and will

So load it up

Shut up

Get under

Turn that doubt to heavy thunder

‘Cause numbers don’t care how you feel

But they’ll show you what is real (so real)
