Full Armour

I'm in full armour
You can't hurt me
Through the steel
Forget what I was
Forget our deal
I'm in full armour
I'll always heal

Barbed wire around my heart
There it was, to keep you out
Electric fences five miles high
And giant Keep Away signs
Flashing for your lie

I'm in full armour
You can't hurt me
Through the steel
Forget what I was
Forget our deal
I'm in full armour
I'll always heal

Thirteen locks and a riddle, too
There they were, to hinder you
Last solid gateway crypticized
Your compass needle,
Demagnetized

I'm in full armour
You can't hurt me
Through the steel
Forget what I was
Forget our deal
I'm in full armour
I'll always heal

All you can do to me now
Is from a distance
And my armour isn't thin enough
To let your arrows through
Allow me to disgrace your grace
And return the arrow heads
To you

I'm in full armour
You can't hurt me
Through the steel
Forget what I was
Forget our deal
I'm in full armour
I'll always heal

I have no Achilles' heel
Weakness only hardens me
I became a fortress
I forgot how to feel
Walk away when nothing is left of me

I'm in full armour
You can't hurt me
Through the steel
Forget what I was
Forget our deal
I'm in full armour
I'll always heal

I'll always bleed
