The Shape of Steel 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Melted lead drips like water down my spine

Cold steel turning liquid in the dark of mine

Grandfather's hammer hangs on the wall above

Teaching me that strength is built in broken love

I used to think it was about lifting heavy loads

But now I know it's in how much you fold

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the heat rising where the edges bend?

Is this what they mean by 'bending till it ends'?

:

Chorus

The shape of steel is not its strength, no way

It's what breaks, then bends, and never turns away

Verse 2

Puddles on the floor where sweat has been

Forged from every moment that I've given in

Not a single drop that fell to waste

Every tear turned heavy into something I can chase

I remember nights when my hands went numb and white

But now I know it's beauty taking shape tonight

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the heat rising where the edges bend?

Is this what they mean by 'bending till it ends'?

:

Chorus

The shape of steel is not its strength, no way

It's what breaks, then bends, and never turns away

Bridge

Maybe we were born too brittle, too thin to hold

But in the fire, every crack becomes a mold

I don't need to be unbroken, I just need to bend

Chorus

The shape of steel is not its strength, no way

It's what breaks, then bends, and never turns away
