Lyrics

Armour

Feel like screaming at the wind as it goes by
Fists balled up like boulders by your side
Only ever known to fight to get you by
But you've done it your whole life

What starts as a drop
Turns into a sea
You're lost in the dark
Underneath

You don't need that drama
You don't need that pain
You don't want that karma
It's a fire you can't tame
Don't harden up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid
Take off all that armor
You can't carry all that weight
That weight, that weight
You can't carry all that weight

You may think you'll make it out of this unscathed
But the scars that you can't see keep you awake
Can't ever let them know you're being saved
So you push the world away

What starts as a drop
Turns into a sea
You're lost in the dark
Underneath

You don't need that drama
You don't need that pain
You don't want that karma
It's a fire you can't tame
Don't harden up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid
Take off all that armor
You can't carry all that weight
That weight, that weight
Oh, you can't carry all that weight
That weight, that weight

What starts as a drop
Turns into a sea
What starts as a breath
Turns into a scream
What starts as an empire
Ends in debris
When it all gets so heavy
It's so hard to see
What starts as a drop
Turns into a sea
What starts as a breath
Turns into a scream
What starts as an empire
Ends in debris
When it all gets so heavy
Set yourself free

'Cause you don't need that drama
You don't need that pain
You don't want that karma
It's a fire you can't tame
Don't harden up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid
Take off all that armor
You can't carry all that weight
That weight, that weight
Oh, you can't carry all that weight
That weight, that weight
You can't carry all that weight
