Rusted Armor Songtext
von Oval Opus

There was a boy
A boy who never really understood
Why his mother left and headed south
Chasing her lost childhood
Who′s to blame?
Well he doesn't know
And he wonders if it′s him

He prays at night to God above
To give him strength within
Then he cries
'Cause her lie, it's hurting him

With this rusted armor
Strong enough to hide
All the pain and sorrow
He′s hiding down inside
He′s shed so many tears
Enough that he could drown
So he'll wear it ′til it wears him down


As time goes by
He wonders when she will finally see the light
He waits for the day she shows up to say
"Son I'm so sorry, you know I didn′t treat you right"

Then he tries
Not to cry but it's hurting him

With this rusted armor
Strong enough to hide
All the pain and sorrow
He′s hiding down inside
He's shed so many tears
Enough that he could drown
So he'll wear it ′til it wears him down

I still hold on to what you left with me
Just a fading memory
I won′t believe what they say
That I'm better off this way


With this rusted armor
Strong enough to hide
All the pain and sorrow
That I′m hiding down inside
I've shed so many tears
Enough that I could drown
So I′ll wear it 'til it wears me down

With this rusted armor
Strong enough to hide
All the pain and sorrow
That I′m hiding down inside
I've shed so many tears
Enough that I could drown
So I'll wear it ′til it wears me
You know I′ll wear it 'til it wears me down
