Steel Boots & Boxer Hearts

[Verse 1] Woke up in a furnace, dog panting in the heat Boxer eyes lookin' up like, “You ain't givin' up on me” Solar panels in my hands, sweat stingin’ in my eyes Wired hope to a roof ‘cause I’ve seen too many die [Pre-Chorus] This ain’t survival—it’s rebellion with a soul Every wire, every fight, makes the broken feel whole [Chorus] Steel boots stomp through shattered glass Boxer hearts that never crack We take the hits, we won’t collapse Still holdin’ on, still fightin’ back They won’t kill what makes us art— Steel boots and boxer hearts [Verse 2] Bar full of cowards, talkin’ loud, pushin' pain Tossed one out like trash, but I felt the strain Then found my home had scars—a lock picked and jammed But I ain’t built for breakin’, I’m the wolf, not the lamb [Pre-Chorus] They keep testin’ the limits, but I’ve got too much to give Got a tail-waggin’ reason and a fire left to live [Chorus] Steel boots stomp through shattered glass Boxer hearts that never crack We take the hits, we won’t collapse Still holdin’ on, still fightin’ back They won’t kill what makes us art— Steel boots and boxer hearts [Bridge] I could’ve turned cold, could’ve said “screw it all” But there’s magic in kindness, even after the fall I ain’t some ghost of who I used to be I’m still that wild-eyed punk who believes [Breakdown – Spoken/Raw scream] This world tried to bury me in bitterness But I’ve got too much bark, too much beat left in my chest [Final Chorus] Steel boots stomp through shattered glass Boxer hearts that never crack We ride the storm, we bear the scars Still hold the light in all this dark No, they won’t kill what sets us apart— Steel boots and boxer hearts
