lyrics

I've grown so tired and weary of protecting my neck.
Just when I let somebody in, I'm a nervous wreck.
Passing up highway signs, how'd I grow so blind?
Can't see the canvas I've covered with blood.
I wish my heart was made of wood.

The brass on my knuckles don't ring right.
When I start a fight my hands are tied.
Blinders on both eyes [&] I've muted my ears.
Is this what I get for being silent for years?
But now I'm speaking up, I'm talking down,
ain't afraid to take a punch now.

So walk with me back to the mountains
where I lost my faith.
All the cruel creatures chased me away
and I surrendered my fate
of walking my own path alone.
I can feel it deep in my bones.
Thunder rolls in and I'm steppin out.
My two feet have no doubts.

The stars of my nights they don't give off light.
When I'm petrified the melody's right.
Foghorns and bellows are grinding my gears.
When the ship hits port it unloads for years.
But now I'm hoisting up, I'm sailing out,
I ain't afraid to get outta here.
