My Armor Your Body

[Intro]
[Acoustic guitar, haunting]
[Sung softly, discovering]
They brought me your body
Still wearing my face
(ohhhhhhh)
[Verse 1]
[Guitar and piano, building slowly]
We were boys who became something more
In a world that couldn't know our name
(couldn't know)
You taught me that rage could be gentle
I taught you that fear could be brave
(ohhhhhhh)
Nights when the camp slept, you'd whisper
One year with you beats eternity alone
(eternity alone)
But I chose my pride over your breathing
Now I'm screaming into stone
(ahhhhhhh)
[Pre-Chorus]
[Emotion rising, vocal runs beginning]
You wore my armor to save them
(to save them)
While I sulked over nothing worth dying for
(worth dying for)
And Hector saw my name, not your face
Now there's blood on my bedroom floor
(ohhhhhhh)
[Chorus - THE HOOK]
[Full production, belt with soul runs, memorable]
I wore my grief, you wore my name
(you wore my name!)
They killed you thinking you were me
(thinking you were me!)
I wore my pride, you wore the blame
(you wore the blame!)
Now I'm half of what I used to be
(ohhhhhhh, used to be!)
You're gone, and I'm the one who's breathing
(still breathing!)
But every breath is violence to my lungs
(to my lungs!)
I wore my grief, you wore my name
(you wore my name!)
And the worst part is I can't tell which one of us won
(ahhhhhhh, which one won)
[Verse 2]
[Stripped back, guitar only, vulnerable]
Antilochus won't let me hold a blade
Says my eyes look too much like goodbye
(like goodbye)
But what's the point of waking
When you were every reason why
(every reason why, ohhhhhhh)
They say your last words were my name
You died confused, thinking help would come
(help would come)
I should've been there, should've fought beside you
Instead I let my ego make me numb
(make me numb, ahhhhhhh)
[Chorus - Building power]
I wore my grief, you wore my name
(you wore my name!)
They killed you thinking you were me
(you were me!)
I wore my pride, you wore the blame
(the blame!)
Now I'm half of what I used to be
(ohhhhhhh, half!)
You're gone, and I'm the one who's breathing
(I'm breathing!)
But every breath is violence to my lungs
(ahhhhhhh!)
I wore my grief, you wore my name
(my name!)
Can't tell which one of us won
(which one won, ohhhhhhh)
[Bridge - BREAKDOWN, tempo 125 BPM, explosive]
[Drums crash, rage unleashed, belt with runs]
HECTOR, I'M COMING!
(coming for you!)
I'LL DRAG YOU THROUGH THE DUST!
(through the dust!)
DESECRATE YOUR CORPSE!
(ahhhhhhh!)
TILL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT BUT RUST!
(nothing left!)
[Rapid fire, losing it]
Zeus strike me down, I DON'T CARE!
(don't care!)
Prophecy wants me young and gone?
(young and gone!)
PERFECT! OPEN UP THE DOOR!
(open it!)
'CAUSE I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LIVE FOR!
(nothing! nothing! ahhhhhhh!)
[Peak scream, then sudden drop]
Nothing left...
(ohhhhhhh)
You're gone...
(you're gone, you're gone)
[Final Chorus - Devastated, slow, soul runs]
[Stripped to piano and voice]
I wore my grief, you wore my name
(you wore my name)
They killed you thinking you were me
(ohhhhhhh)
I wore my pride, you wore the blame
(wore the blame)
Now I'm nothing, can't you see?
(can't you see, ahhhhhhh)
You're gone, and I'm the one still breathing
(still here)
But I'm drowning with these lungs
(drowning, ohhhhhhh)
I wore my grief, you wore my name
(wore my name)
And I don't think either of us won
(neither won, ahhhhhhh)
[Outro]
[A cappella, breaking]
[Whispered, then barely sung]
I wore my grief
(ohhhhhhh)
You wore my name
(my name)
And nothing will ever be the same
(ohhhhhhh)
[Silence]
[End]
