Steel in My Chest

[Intro]

Breath tastes like rust

Jaw tight, fists up

Clock ticks too rough

I don’t feel enough (nah)

[Verse 1]

Steel toe dreams on a concrete floor

Blood on the lace from the kicked-in door

Teeth full of grit, that gravel talk

Whole block shake when my shadow walks

Cold air burnin’ in a busted lung

Bad nerves twitchin’, I don’t come undone

Tattooed promise on a fractured wrist

I ain’t pray, I clench my fist

[Chorus]

I got steel in my chest, it bang

Every time that it hits, I change

When it drops, whole frame go blank

I don’t flinch, I rise, I tank

Steel in my chest, that rage

Turn my hurt to a diamond cage

When it slams, let the ground know name

Every hit, that’s me, my claim (yeah)

[Verse 2]

Eyes like sirens in the blackout rain

I been carryin’ that machine-made pain

Hands still shake but I hold that line

Scars in a row like a barcode spine

Cold blue light on a sleepless face

Mind run laps but I keep my pace

Whole life wired to a shorted fuse

If I don’t spark, then I still might bruise

[Chorus]

I got steel in my chest, it bang

Every time that it hits, I change

When it drops, whole frame go blank

I don’t flinch, I rise, I tank

Steel in my chest, that rage

Turn my hurt to a diamond cage

When it slams, let the ground know name

Every hit, that’s me, my claim (steel)
