Beneath The Armor

Track 2: "Beneath The Armor"

(Verse 1)

I wear this mask, a shield to protect,

A soldier of silence, no room to reflect.

My hands, they’ve been hardened, my soul’s been scarred,

But beneath the armor, there's a beating heart.

(Pre-Chorus)

I was taught to conceal every thought, every fear,

To bury the pain and pretend it’s not here.

But in the silence, it calls to me loud,

Begging for mercy, breaking through the shroud.

(Chorus)

Beneath the armor, I’m falling apart,

Trapped in the echo of a broken heart.

I fight every day, but I’m losing the war,

Wondering if I can love anymore.

(Verse 2)

I’ve worn my pride like a suit of steel,

But the cracks are showing, the wounds won’t heal.

I pushed you away, thinking I was strong,

But I was wrong, I’ve been lost all along.

(Pre-Chorus)

I was taught to conceal every thought, every fear,

To bury the pain and pretend it’s not here.

But in the silence, it calls to me loud,

Begging for mercy, breaking through the shroud.

(Chorus)

Beneath the armor, I’m falling apart,

Trapped in the echo of a broken heart.

I fight every day, but I’m losing the war,

Wondering if I can love anymore.

(Bridge)

I’ve built this fortress to keep you away,

But the walls are crumbling, what do I say?

Can you see the man hiding inside,

Or is he buried too deep, too hard to find?

(Chorus)

Beneath the armor, I’m falling apart,

Trapped in the echo of a broken heart.

I fight every day, but I’m losing the war,

Wondering if I can love anymore.

(Outro)

So here I stand, with nothing left to prove,

Hoping someday I’ll learn to move.

Beneath the armor, I’ll find my way,

Maybe love will save me, maybe today.
