Chain Mail

High voice, deep inside
Witness what you think you hide
I will race you through emotions
I made an armour plated suit
You put your lips to helmet slits
Tried to suck me out the tin
I can't get out, I'm welded in
I'd run away to pray for tears
Or sitting still to see
What lives behind the back of the mind
When you have peeled the onion leaves
High voice, deep inside
Witness what you think you hide
I will race you through emotions
If you let me in
That body's naked as the mind
The bruises mark the site of blows
Inside my suit my body's fine
When I last looked it looked like mine
I'd run away to pray for tears
Or sitting still to see
What lives behind the back of the mind
When you have peeled the onion leaves
I'm going deeper and deeper in debt
Deeper and deeper in debt
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper in debt
I'm not the only one in chains
I hear you creaking in the rain
Under pressure, under stress
I see you through your holy vest
That body's naked as the mind
When I last looked, it looked like mine
Oh look at the chain mail and his body guard
Look at the chain mail and his shoddy body guard
Look at the chain mail and his body guard
Chain mail
Chain mail
Chain mail
Chain mail
I'd run away to pray for tears
And sitting still to see
What lives behind at the back of the mind
When you have swept away
When you have swept away
When you have swept away the leaves
