[Verse 1]
My armor so sturdy and strong
Never deceive me in battle, I’m gone
Blood of my enemies dripping along
Thought I was righteous, I might be wrong
Every dent on the chestplate, story I told
Every scratch on the shield, made me feel bold
But the weight on my back got me walking old
Heart got colder than the metal I hold
[Chorus]
Armor on, I feel ten feet tall
Armor off, I might break, might fall
But if I took it off, I’d finally see
It’s not them, it’s the fear inside of me
Armor on, I can’t feel the hit
Armor off, I might finally fit
In a world where I’m not just made to bleed
Maybe I don’t need this steel on me
[Verse 2]
Yeah, blood on the breastplate, staining the shine
Sinning on it, saying, “I’m fine”
Every little victory crossing the line
Laughing too loud, but I’m dying inside
I flex in the mirror with the visor low
Can’t see my face, just the mask I show
If I dropped this weight, would I lose my glow
Or find someone that I used to know
[Chorus]
Armor on, I feel ten feet tall
Armor off, I might break, might fall
But if I took it off, I’d finally see
It’s not them, it’s the fear inside of me
Armor on, I can’t feel the hit
Armor off, I might finally fit
In a world where I’m not just made to bleed
Maybe I don’t need this steel on me
[Bridge]
What if I walked out bare? (oh)
Let ‘em see my scars, let ‘em stop and stare
What if I lose that fake control
Just to win back one real soul
[Chorus]
Armor on, I feel ten feet tall
Armor off, I might break, might fall
But if I took it off, I’d finally see
It’s not them, it’s the fear inside of me
Armor on, I can’t feel the hit
Armor off, I might finally fit
In a world where I’m not just made to bleed
Maybe I don’t need this steel on me
