[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
