Mixed up switch

Verse 1

I learned to bend before I broke

Watched the waves erase the marks I wrote

Steel threads running up my back

Butter soft where the skin is slack

Pre-Chorus

They told me pick a side

Choose to shatter or to hide

But I found another way

Living both games day by day

Chorus

Spine stronger than steel

Heart softer than butter

Soul that shines so bright

In the dark of night

I'm both the armor and the flutter

Spine stronger than steel

Heart softer than butter

Verse 2

Morning comes and I hold the door

For a stranger on the fourth floor

Afternoon I stand my ground

When the sharp words come around

Evening finds me on my knees

Weeping for the dying trees

Pre-Chorus

They told me pick a side

Choose to shatter or to hide

But I found another way

Living both games day by day

Chorus

Spine stronger than steel

Heart softer than butter

Soul that shines so bright

In the dark of night

I'm both the armor and the flutter

Spine stronger than steel

Heart softer than butter

Bridge

Granite bones and velvet skin

Tender places held within

Fist that fights and hand that heals

Both of them are equally real

Let 'em stare let 'em wonder

I was never meant to be one or the other

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Spine stronger than steel

Heart softer than butter

Soul that shines so bright

In the dark of night

I'm both the armor and the flutter

Spine stronger than steel

Heart softer than butter

Outro

Soul that shines so bright

In the dark of night

Soul that shines

Shines so bright

In the dark

In the dark of night
