Lyrics

I walk in like nothing's wrong shoulders back and jaw set
Built a version of myself that never breaks a sweat
Everybody sees the man who's standing in the front
Never flinching never folding always taking what comes
But the helmet's getting heavy and the chest plate's wearing thin
I've been holding up a shield against the things I keep within
Stitched together my own covering thread by thread by hand
But handmade armor only holds until you understand
It was never built to last
I polish up the outside make sure the surface shines
So nobody looks close enough to read between the lines
I learned early — if you bleed you bleed where no one sees
'Cause the moment that they see it you're not who they need you to be
So let it fall let the metal hit the floor
I'm tired of the weight of what I made this for
I've been wearing something heavier than I had to
There's armor that I didn't forge and it's been waiting at the door
Let it fall I don't need it anymore
Every piece I built myself was just a wall
And the thing that makes me stand was never mine at all
Funny how the strongest looking people in the room
Are the ones who got the best at picking out a costume
I got one for every setting switch it like a skin
Got the leader got the rock got the I'm good grin
But at night when it's quiet and there's nowhere left to perform
I'm just standing in the mirror staring at a uniform
That I never asked to wear but couldn't take off
'Cause the moment that I'm naked is the moment that it costs
Something — pride maybe the image I protect
The version they depend on the version I project
But there's a whisper in the silence and it sounds like take it off
What I gave you weighs like feathers what you built weighs like a cross
So let it fall let the metal hit the floor
I'm tired of the weight of what I made this for
I've been wearing something heavier than I had to
There's armor that I didn't forge and it's been waiting at the door
Let it fall I don't need it anymore
Every piece I built myself was just a wall
And the thing that makes me stand was never mine at all
I put it on to keep me safe
But it kept out everything
The hands that tried to reach me
Couldn't get through what I'd built between
So I'm standing in the open now
Chest bare arms wide
Turns out the thing I thought would kill me
Was the thing that brought me life
Let it fall let the metal hit the floor
I'm done with the weight of what I made this for
I've been carrying something heavier than I had to
There's armor that I didn't forge and it was always at the door
Let it fall I don't need it anymore
Every piece I built myself was just a wall
And the thing that makes me stand was never mine at all
Was never mine at all
