The Armour You Own - Dead Letter Circus

Don’t look away

This is now the moment that you know that you have waited for wait no more

This is your time right here

No one can believe something all the time

You fall out

Someday you’ll fall back in

But it’s coming for you now

With your hope burning in its hand

The armour you’ve grown

You will not fear them, breathing inside of the armour you own

You will not see them all waiting in line for the armour you grow

Is the armour you own

Brace, this is just the game

Find your shelter in your calm and take comfort in your harm

Don’t look away

This is just the moment that you know that you create

So wait no more in this feeling

You will not see them all waiting in line for the armour you grow

Is the armour you own

You will reach

You will fall down

Every time you fail you will change

You will break open this light

And from it you will know the way

I won’t leave

You will step out from the tower that has kept you safe

Home will be where you are now

Know that this place must end

Know that this temple I built you’ll shed

You will awake to your consciousness

Stand up and know now that you are the one who shapes

But know when to give if the heart dictates

Show all the empathy that you own with each moment

Keep nothing safe, you will grow from harm

The further you fall you return to own

Know that you’ll always be chasing something

And it’s ok

You will reach

You will fall down

Every time you fail you will change

You will break open this light

And from it you will know the way

I won’t leave

You will step out from the tower that has kept you safe

Home will be where you are now
