Full Armor on My Bones

Full Armor on My Bones

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You came with files and fire

A smile like broken glass

You fed the room your story

Then watched the fallout pass

You hit where the old bruise lives

Right where the skin turned thin

But every time you swing at me

I lock my jaw and grin

[Pre-Chorus]

You want me split wide open

You want me face-down low

But I know your little weather

I know how storms can blow

[Chorus]

You throw the ash

I hold the line

You drag my name

I stay hard inside

You bring the wreck

I bring the steel

You try to break me

I only heal

[Verse 2]

You made the courthouse your altar

Stacked lies like paper walls

You pawned my peace for a spotlight

So the whole town heard you call

You pressed on every fracture

Like nails in a backdoor frame

But pain is just a lesson

And I know how to spell my name

[Pre-Chorus]

You want me split wide open

You want me on my knees

But every wound you tried to own

Just taught me how to breathe

[Chorus]

You throw the ash

I hold the line

You drag my name

I stay hard inside

You bring the wreck

I bring the steel

You try to break me

I only heal

[Bridge]

[Breakdown]

Take your docket

Take your lies

Take that grin

And those dead eyes

I was soft once

Now look close

Every hit you land

Turns to armor on my bones

[Final Chorus]

You throw the ash

I hold the line

You drag my name

I stay hard inside

You bring the wreck

I bring the steel

You try to break me

I only heal

You throw the ash

I hold the line

I don't fold

I don't decline

You bring the fire

I keep the flame

You tried to bury me

I rose the same

[Post-Chorus]

I learned young what hunger means

How a boy becomes a man

How you carry what you’re given

When nobody lends a hand

I’ve buried blood and buried dreams

Watched good years disappear

But I’m still standing in the doorway

Between my boys and fear

[Verse 3]

I know what it means to lose them

While they’re living down the road

To love your own from a distance

And still carry that load

So I won’t let another childhood

Get swallowed by this war

They deserve a life worth living

That’s what I’m fighting for

[Build]

I’ve worn the uniform

I’ve worn the scars

I’ve walked home wounded

And still walked far

I’ve lost enough

I know that cost

So these boys won’t pay

For what you’ve lost

[Breakdown]

Come for my money

Come for my name

Drag me through court

Set fire to my days

But there’s one line

You’ll never cross

Their hearts aren’t weapons

Their lives aren’t yours

I’ll take the hit

I’ll bear the load

I’ll walk through hell

And bring them home

[Final Reprise]

You throw the ash

I hold the line

You drag my name

I’ll give it time

You bring the wreck

I bring the steel

You taught me pain

I learned to heal

You bring the fire

I guard the flame

My sons will know

They’re not to blame

And when they ask

What made me whole

I’ll show the scars

The years you stole

And tell them every wound I own

Put armor on my bones

[Outro]

Armor on my bones

Armor on my bones

You thought the weight would bury me

It only made me strong.
