Who can feel a heart of steel cold-tempered and chrome-plated?
Bent in half, we’ll have a laugh at monsters we’ve created
Paradise rising, warming the fray
Tasty redemption not far away
Drink to the life we can’t forget
A time when there was no pain yet
Bulletproof jacket forged out of scorn
Tender emotions plucked like a thorn
Wise scry asks me why I’m sitting on the fence
Stand tall and build a wall, and it will all make sense
Meaningless chatter, talk is so cheap
If you fall for it, costs you a heap
If you sit on the fence at all
You might as well just build a wall
Bulletproof jacket forged out of scorn
Tender emotions plucked like a thorn
Tick tock, my heart is locked shut with an iron key
Within my breast a treasure chest that none shall take from me
Treasure is brazen, strength can’t be sold
Battles aren’t won with weapons of gold
This time a story to suspend
That’s not how it’s supposed to end
Bulletproof jacket forged out of scorn
Tender emotions plucked like a thorn
