Oval Opus — Rusted Armor lyrics

Lyrics

There was a boy
A boy who never really understood
Why his mother left, and headed South
Chasing her lost childhood
Well who’s to blame, he doesn’t know
And he wonders if it’s him
He prays at night, to God above
To give him strength within
Then he cries, cause her lie
Is hurting him
Is this rusted armor strong enough to hide
All the pain and sorrow
That’s hiding down inside
He’s shed so many tears
Enough that he could drown
But he’ll wear it till it wears him down
As time goes by
He wonders when
She will finally see the light
He waits for the day
She shows up to say…
«Son I’m so sorry, you know I didn’t
Treat you right.»
Then he tries, not to cry
But it’s hurting him
Is this rusted armor strong enough to hide
All the pain and sorrow
That’s hiding down inside
He’s shed so many tears
Enough that he could drown
But he’ll wear it till it wears him down
I still hold on to what you left with me
Just a fading memory
I won’t believe what they say
That I’m better off this way
Is this rusted armor strong enough to hide
All the pain and sorrow
That I’m hiding down inside
I’ve shed so many tears
Enough that I could drown
So I’ll wear it till it wears me down
