Invisible Armor Songtext
von Paula Cole

I′m sorry I've been so cold
I′m guarding and I'm hardening bone
At times, it feels impossible to trust again

That soft center of faith
Is where I long to stay
But memory jolts me away to self-protection

My invisible armor
Serves no purpose any longer
I am lonely at the center of my life

I want to lay my sword down
I wanna cry, I want to come home
I don't wanna be this strong anymore

I′m slipping off this skin
One I no longer fit in
A traumatized version of myself


My invisible armor
Serves no purpose any longer
My invisible armor weighs me down
My invisible armor
Serves a futile imaginary battle
I am looking at the meaning of my life

So brave, so shy
So vulnerable, so alive
I′m on a high wire above myself

My invisible armor
Another life lived and discarded
I was tilting at the windmills of my past
And you are here now waiting for me
You believed and saw right through it
I am standing at the center of my life

My invisible armor
My invisible armor
My invisible armor weighs me down
