Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sat alone in the back of the party Lipstick stains on a plastic cup Every joke hit a wall around me Every word in my throat stayed stuck [Chorus] All this time I was hiding in my armor Watching life like a movie in the dark Now I’m burning through the pages that I squandered Wish I’d torn this shell apart Wish I’d torn this shell apart (yeah) [Verse 2] Tried to blend like the paint on the ceiling Head down Same seat Same hall Now your hand pulls me out of my corner And I’m taller than the fear I recall [Chorus] All this time I was hiding in my armor Watching life like a movie in the dark Now I’m burning through the pages that I squandered Wish I’d torn this shell apart Wish I’d torn this shell apart [Bridge] How many nights did I let run dry? (hey!) How many times did I say “not tonight”? Now every scar is a banner I fly Too late for regret Right on time to feel alive [Chorus] All this time I was hiding in my armor Watching life like a movie in the dark Now I’m screaming every secret I once harbored Wish I’d torn this shell apart But I’m tearing it now Yeah I’m tearing it now

rock, Driving alt-rock crossing into modern metal; male vocals that start tight and almost spoken, then rip into a raspier belt on the chorus. Crunchy rhythm guitars locked to a punchy kick and snare, bass snarling just under the vocal. Choruses explode with double-tracked vocals and overhead crash wash; bridge dips to half-time with chugging low strings and a wide, bending lead line that climbs back into the final hook., metal
