[Intro]
Take a walk through my mind.
Watch your fucking step.
Some of this shit still bleeds.
[Verse 1]
Death had a language, explosions had names,
Incoming in the distance, chaos in flames.
Hit the ground, count heads, wait on the truth,
Came home breathing, never came home clean,
Some nights still flicker like a fucked-up TV screen.
Faces in the shadows, memories at the door,
I don’t speak on every goddamn thing that I saw.
Fear don’t mean run, courage ain’t calm,
It’s staring down hell and still carrying on.
There’s ghosts in these halls that still whisper and scream.
[Chorus]
Take a walk through the mind of a man made of steel,
Where the nightmares breathe and the old wounds heal.
Burned, betrayed, buried under the weight,
Still came back stronger every fucking time I met fate.
Ghosts in the hallway, let ‘em follow behind,
Got my wife and my son at the front of my mind.
Break what I own, tear apart every plan,
You’ll have to fucking kill me before you break the man.
[Verse 2]
Hood down, sparks cutting through the dark,
Welding steel into shape while rebuilding my heart.
Then engines started talking, I learned how to hear,
Master of machines, diagnosis in my blood,
Give me symptoms and a scope, I’ll drag truth from the mud.
I’ve rebuilt broken shit most would’ve thrown away,
So when life broke me, I treated me the same fucking way.
Tear it down. Find the failure. Measure twice.
Fix what died. Bring the bastard back to life.
Machines don’t smile while betraying you,
Steel don’t lie like some motherfuckers do.
Loyalty rots behind familiar eyes,
Trust turns poison and truth turns to lies.
It cuts deeper when you know who held the knife,
But betrayal won’t dictate my fucking life.
[Breakdown]
I ain’t fucking fearless.
Fear just doesn’t get a vote.
[Verse 3]
Now a little set of eyes watches everything I do,
So the darkness in my chest has a purpose to pursue.
My son don’t need perfect, he needs someone who stays,
A father standing tall when the whole fucking world shakes.
The woman beside me—that’s home, that’s mine,
She’s why I keep climbing when I’m buried alive.
Sometimes strength is walking away when revenge feels sweet,
Sometimes it’s swallowing rage and refusing defeat.
Hold your boy while the memories scream,
Love again after trust gets ripped at the seams.
I know what the fuck I’m capable of.
That’s why control means more.
A dangerous man with a reason for peace
doesn’t need to start a fucking war.
[Final Chorus]
Take a walk through the mind of a man made of steel,
See the scars, see the darkness, see what’s fucking real.
Let the ghosts fill the hallway, they can follow behind,
They don’t get the steering wheel—this life is fucking mine.
For my woman, my boy, I’ll withstand what I can.
Life tried making a monster.
Fuck that.
I chose to become a man.
[Outro]
Fire. Steel. Engines. Loss. Betrayal. Love.
That’s the shit inside.
Now find your own fucking way out.
