[Verse 1]
Rain in the rubble
Blood on my sleeve
Hands that once trembled
Now too numb to leave
You call my name
Through the smoke
Through the glass
I’m all torn cartilage
Taped-up past
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar keeps asking
“Was it worth the cost?”
I keep moving forward
Like I’m already lost
[Chorus]
I’ll break
I’ll bleed
I’ll crawl to stand
If it keeps you out of his hands
Let my bones turn black and blue
If that’s the price to shelter you
Don’t call me brave
Don’t call it fate
I’m just here to block the hate
If I fall where monsters grew
Let it be between them and you
[Verse 2]
Face in the mirror
Cracked like the glass
Eyes like a stranger
Staring right back
Teacher’s old promise
Fades in the storm
I walk off that shadow
To fight in my own form
[Pre-Chorus]
Every breath feels borrowed
Every step a sin
But I see you shaking
So I step back in
[Chorus]
I’ll break
I’ll bleed
I’ll crawl to stand
If it keeps you out of his hands
Let my bones turn black and blue
If that’s the price to shelter you
Don’t call me brave
Don’t call it fate
I’m just here to block the hate
If I fall where monsters grew
Let it be between them and you
[Bridge]
If I disappear
In this poisoned air
Would you still believe
Someone once cared? (yeah)
If this is the end
Of the boy you knew
Let the last thing I am
Be a shield for you
[Chorus]
I’ll break
I’ll bleed
I’ll crawl to stand
If it keeps you out of his hands
Let my bones turn black and blue
If that’s the price to shelter you
Don’t call me brave
Don’t say I flew
I’m just a wall they’re running through
If I fall where monsters grew
Let it be between them and you (between them and you)
