Through the years the chunks of my armour
Went from brittle to hardened rock
Every piece as defined as ever before
From the front and back
My heart is as dark as a starry night
My mind conquered by my own demons
Life is completely ignited
By the fiercest and hottest of fires
Shadows consuming me
Fears overpowering my brain
But I let them be
I let the bullets rain
I may be broken inside out,
All pieces are irreparable.
But that's not what I am all about
I am more than that - I am indestructible.
