Iron Spine Gentle Fist Lyrics by Virus Inc

Boots on the floor
Steel in my stare
I don’t flinch for the storm
I just breathe that air

I take the weight
When the beams all creak
Put my back to the break
Let the weak ones speak

I guard the door
I stand my ground
If I give my word
It’s carved in the crown

I don’t bow to every echo
Every shout from the cheap-seated crowd
I live clean when the shade gets heavy
My head stays high
My knees stay proud (hey!)

I’m a man with an iron spine
And a heart that I hide behind this hide
If you push
I will draw that line
If you’re hurt
I will take your side

Yeah I demand respect
’Cause I bleed for what I love
I’m a shield
I’m a sharpened edge
And a teddy bear soul in a winter coat hug

Hold the door
Pay the bill
Look you straight in the face
Say exactly what I will

I keep my palms
Free of grease
But these scarred up hands
Still fight for peace

I’d rather break
Than bend my truth
I’ll admit when I’m wrong
That’s my kind of ruth

I won’t trade my spine for comfort
Won’t trade honor just to fit in the room
I walk first through the fire and the glass
And I’ll lay my coat over every wound (yeah!)

I’m a man with an iron spine
And a heart that I hide behind this hide
If you push
I will draw that line
If you’re hurt
I will take your side

Yeah I demand respect
’Cause I bleed for what I love
I’m a shield
I’m a sharpened edge
And a teddy bear soul in a winter coat hug

Stand tall
Stand clean
Be kind
Be keen

Shake hands
Lock eyes
Real strength
Never lies

I’m a man with an iron spine
And a heart that I hide behind this hide
If you push
I will draw that line
If you’re hurt
I will take your side

Yeah I demand respect
’Cause I bleed for what I love
I’m a shield
I’m a sharpened edge
And a teddy bear soul in a winter coat hug
