[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, palm-muted] [drums enter with snare crack and driving beat] [Verse 1] [raspy male vocals] I watched you crack under the weight Saw the fractures spread across your face You wore your armor like a second skin Now it's rusting from within They built you to never break But everything gives eventually [Chorus] [full band, open power chords] There's beauty in the bending when the steel finally snaps apart Something real comes pouring out from the wreckage of your heart [lead guitar melody with delay] [Verse 2] [bass and drums continue, palm-muted guitar] You kept the world at arm's length Fists clenched, shut up your strength But pressure finds the weakest seam Turns the fortress into debris You thought surrender meant defeat But I see something underneath [Chorus] [driving drums, heavy distortion] There's beauty in the bending when the steel finally snaps apart Something real comes pouring out from the wreckage of your heart [Bridge] [half-time feel, heavy bass] Let it collapse, let the iron twist and fail [shouted vocals] I want the man behind the metal, not the shell [guitar solo with wah-pedal and rapid alternate picking] [Chorus] [full intensity] There's beauty in the bending when the steel finally snaps apart Something real comes pouring out from the wreckage of your heart Yeah, the wreckage of your heart [final drum fill, feedback fade out]
