Tin Man lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blistered hands to match the heart
It's been a long time since these palms were soft
I've built a shell to protect myself
Scrap metal skin with that harlequin grin
'Cause the world's got a habit of ruining things
With their toxic tones and sharpened tongues
Friend or foe, oh, who can know?
When it's raining knives, I’d rather stay inside

[Chorus]
Sure, it's safe inside
But can you call that living?
Shell-shocked and locked away
While you fools are grinning
Sure, there's safety in numbers, I know
But I won't join in

[Verse 2]
I'm sick of sitting alonе in the dark
This cabin fever's creepin' in
Got to shеd my skin and start again
Stop chasing goals to fill these holes
But these problems run deep in my Novocaine brain
Nothing inside but dead butterflies
There's nowhere to go, I'm stuck where I stand
Just rusting away like another tin man
[Chorus]
Sure, it's safe inside
But can you call that living?
Shell-shocked and locked away
While you fools are grinning
Sure, there's safety in numbers, I know
But I won't join in
Sure, it's safe inside
But can you call that living?
Shell-shocked and locked away
While you fools are grinning
Sure, there's safety in numbers, I know
But I won't join in
