Trenches

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I learned pain got rent It knocks, then it stays Same cracked floor, same room Same weight, every day Mama said, "Hold on" But my hands got numb I been counting scars Like they pay me some Old friends switched lanes New smiles, same lies I sleep with one eye open While the hurt never dies My chest full of thunder My jaw full of grit If I say I'm fine Man, I don't mean it [Pre-Chorus] Still I walk through Still I stand there Blood on my laces Hope in the air Still I walk through Still I don't bend If this is the bottom Then I dig in [Chorus] Trenches, trenches We live in the trenches Trenches, trenches Pain got no mention Trenches, trenches I been on defense Trenches, trenches Still I don't quit this [Verse 2] I seen love turn cold In a borrowed coat Seen a brother fade By a family note Seen the good in me Get ignored for years Seen a fake prayer Hide a room full of tears Now my voice got cuts But it still cut through If the night gets loud I get louder too I don't chase the sun I just chase one chance One clean break from the mud One real second glance [Pre-Chorus] Still I walk through Still I stand there Blood on my laces Hope in the air Still I walk through Still I don't bend If this is the bottom Then I dig in [Chorus] Trenches, trenches We live in the trenches Trenches, trenches Pain got no mention Trenches, trenches I been on defense Trenches, trenches Still I don't quit this [Bridge] If I break, I break loud Let the whole block know I was built from the shake From the heat, from the snow And I won't fold now Not for shame, not for fear I've been hurt so long That the hurt turned clear [Chorus] Trenches, trenches We live in the trenches Trenches, trenches Pain got no mention Trenches, trenches I been on defense Trenches, trenches Still I don't quit this
