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.
