Metal plates protect me,
Rusty, worn and dented,
Troubles,
Memories,
Pain,
It all attacks me,
Battering against my chest,
Trying to get to my heart,
I won’t let it,
I won’t let it,
Got to stay strong,
Got to stay strong,
But it’s slowly getting through,
I thought I was strong,
I thought I could ignore it,
I thought I could stand it,
But now it’s getting to me,
Now it’s getting to me,
It’s piercing through,
It’s making its way in,
Right into my heart,
Right into my fears,
It all rushes in,
Attacking, attacking, attacking,
It’s killing me,
It’s drowning me,
It’s got me…
