Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 They see calloused hands, a steady stare Say I play it straight, say I play fair Bible on the dash, dust on boots Say I stand firm, say I know truth They say I don’t bend, don’t break, don’t fold Just a God-fearing man, or so I’m told Pre-Chorus But there’s hell behind my eyes A war I keep locked up inside Chorus (heavy, raw) If you look too close inside my head You wouldn’t hold me that damn high There’s crooked prayers I never said And darker thoughts I never fight I wear my faith like iron skin But it rattles when the night sets in Verse 2 I still say grace, still draw the line Still try my best most of the time I bite my tongue, shake every hand Act like I’ve got it all planned I clean up nice, I stand up straight But I carry more than what I say Chorus (heavy, raw) If you look too close inside my head You wouldn’t hold me that damn high There’s crooked prayers I never said And darker thoughts I never fight I wear my faith like iron skin But it rattles when the night sets Bridge (prayerful, stripped) God, I’m tired of wearing two names One for the world, one full of shame Give me strength where I am weak Help my heart match what I speak Final Chorus (resolved, same melody) If You can see inside my head And still don’t turn Your back on me I don’t wanna shine, I don’t wanna hide Just help me live the truth I preach I wear my faith like iron skin God, make my inside match my name Amen
