Tattered steel

Verse 1

Built my spine from iron beams

Laid the bricks around my chest

Told myself I'm made of concrete

But the cracks know me the best

Pre-Chorus

Every wall I ever stacked

Just becomes a place to crack

Chorus

I got nerves of steel

But the pain cuts double

Strong in the head

But a weak will crumbles

Holding it together

Till I come apart

Nerves of steel

But a paper heart

Post-Chorus

Paper heart

Paper heart

Verse 2

Logic screaming in my skull

Feelings dragging me around

I can calculate the outcome

Still I let myself go down

Pre-Chorus

Knowing better isn't change

Knowing everything feels strange

Chorus

I got nerves of steel

But the pain cuts double

Strong in the head

But a weak will crumbles

Holding it together

Till I come apart

Nerves of steel

But a paper heart

Bridge

Brains and bones don't talk the same

One builds fences, one lights flames

I can reason, I can plan

Still I'm reaching for the hand

Chorus

I got nerves of steel

But the pain cuts double

Strong in the head

But a weak will crumbles

Holding it together

Till I come apart

Nerves of steel

But a paper heart
