American Steel

Shrapnel

Jagged words are all I've heard, spitting shards of vitriol
Jagged thoughts they're all that I've got, shredding my soul
Shrapnel

True love is a thorn in its side, wasting time to smell the roses
My lover is a diamond ring who takes a shine to a puppet on a string
Of bad luck isn't tragedy, its hardened tears are here to stay
Tick tock, time clock, whistle, stop, everyone knows you're going home dog tired

Gonna wake up exhausted to a new day

Jagged words are all I've heard, spitting shards of vitriol
Jagged thoughts they're all that I've got, shredding my soul
Shrapnel

Wherever the wind blows, baby, I'll go, head high
Cause my hero is a lonely grave site twisting in solemn vigil of Waning light, some spark in a sluggish mind and all the world is a powder keg
But I remember you, when you loved freedom too, brimming young with life

So wipe the tears from your eyes
Baby, no one's got to see you dying

Jagged words are all I've heard, spitting shards of vitriol
Jagged thoughts they're all that I've got, shredding my soul
Shrapnel

No one's got to see you
No one's got to hear you dying, dying

Jagged words are all I've heard, spitting shards of vitriol
Jagged thoughts they're all that I've got, shredding my soul
Shrapnel
