lyrics

Not every hero wears a cape
Or flies through the air
Some spend their lives
At the bottom of the stairs

Now I may be made of steel
But I don't stand tall and proud
No I wait outside the door
In case you lock yourself out

In the midnight blue or the morning golden
When one door closes another one opens
So many are called so few are chosen
It's not about the cards it's how you hold 'em

Making friends with worms
Ants and spiders
But none of their frames
Were forged by fire

7 grams of mass
2 inches of metal
Your secret weapon
Between the pebbles
