Cold Eyes Armor

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came from nights where the silence felt heavy, no safety net, just dreams that weren’t steady. Every corner had a lesson I couldn’t ignore, every loss made me hungry for something more. They said “slow down”, I said “watch me go further”, built from pressure, turned the pain into armor. No handouts, just scars that I learned to wear, now I move different, cold eyes, no fear. I’ve seen friends switch for a little bit of shine, trade loyalty fast just to feel like they’re fine. But I kept my [Pre-Chorus] feet in the dirt back against the wind I learned the hard way what it means to win If you want it bad you gotta bleed for it first I don’t fold now I just outgrow the hurt [Chorus] Cold eyes, no fear I don’t break, I don’t bend Cold eyes, no fear I keep climbing again Cold eyes, no fear They can talk, let ’em stare Cold eyes, no fear I been built from the air [Verse 2] I was counting empty days in a room with chipped paint, staring at a ceiling that was never gonna change. Had a pocket full of doubt and a jaw full of grit, every time life hit hard, I got harder from it. Mama said, “baby, keep your name clean,” so I kept my head low and my hands mean. Did the math on every smile, every lie, every grin, now I read a fake love quick before it gets in. You can keep the gold and the borrowed respect, I got roots in the pain, I got proof in my steps. [Pre-Chorus] feet in the dirt back against the wind I learned the hard way what it means to win If you want it bad you gotta bleed for it first I don’t fold now I just outgrow the hurt [Chorus] Cold eyes, no fear I don’t break, I don’t bend Cold eyes, no fear I keep climbing again Cold eyes, no fear They can talk, let ’em stare Cold eyes, no fear I been built from the air [Bridge] Not every crown is gold not every hand is real I made my own way out of what I feel If the room goes quiet I still hear my name From the nights I survived I came back unchanged [Final Chorus] Cold eyes, no fear I don’t break, I don’t bend Cold eyes, no fear I keep climbing again Cold eyes, no fear They can talk, let ’em stare Cold eyes, no fear I been built from the air
