lyrics
Ironclad is my character
A front that I put up to evade the feelings
Inherited and learned
From my salad days
Father's thoughts became mines
Mother's beliefs became a thorn on my side
And I fought through these growing pains
Just to reach a compromise
But my thoughts turned to aggression
This unchecked expression
Yearns to be heard
Aimless in a room full of bees
Thoughts that gravitate to the surface of my face
They ask me
Am I the bad guy
Ascension turning into the bends
Thoughts that fabricate the contour on my face
They ask me
Am I the bad guy
Reaching the end of my summer solstice
Burdened with the weight of my arrogant choices
Don't want to be seen
Dead in the water
Fury swarming in perpetual motion
Coming of age and corroding the walls I've built
Only to find
I'm frozen in time
And my thoughts turn to regression
This teenage expression
Yearns to be heard
Thoughts that gravitate to the surface of my face
They tell me, they tell me
Thoughts that fabricate the contour on my face
They tell me, they tell me
Aimless in a room full of bees
Thoughts that gravitate to the surface of my face
They tell me
That I'm the bad guy
Ascension turning into the bends
Thoughts that fabricate the contour on my face
They tell me
That I'm the bad guy.
