Muscle Memory Lyrics by Armored Saint

Win Hands Down

2015

[Verse 1]
I read the news every day or I try
Switch back and forth between a scowl and a smile
People lift me up or drop me flat like a stone
But still I want to believe in them
My clan comes number one in the fight
We brought souls in this world and we'll do it right
Though my moods they swing like a pendulum
They know where my heart comes from
Like our dear departed friend Andy told me
It's only water off a ducks back in the stream
Face it like a man, face it like a wimp
But either way you're facing it

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Burying your head underneath your feathers signals a swan song
Yes, the ride is short but your heritage is long

[Chorus]
Muscle memory is what I use to carry me
Muscle memory, ain't no way I worry 'bout a thing
Muscle memory, I reference stuff I know
Muscle memory, then put my feet down and go

[Verse 2]
I want music to bring me down to my knees
Make me sob like an infant, make me angry
Rip me to shreds, glue me back up
Make my mind explode
Things that matter I can afford
Get my shit together and get onboard
Shed every pound, melt it away
Rid that overweight load

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Burying your head underneath the sand is succumbing to the words I can't
Okay, the ride may stall but your legacy stands tall

[Chorus]
Muscle memory is what I use to carry me
Muscle memory, ain't no way I worry 'bout anything
Muscle memory, I reference stuff I learn
Muscle memory, disfigurement I've earned

[Bridge]
And I wear it like a badge of honor
No stone unturned
Yeah, it's the bane of my existence
To pass the torch in a world of nonsense
Shot, a miss
So many nights I've toiled over this
Once around
Crotchety young man, make it count

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I make my own news out on the fly
Do much more than I need to get by
People lift me up, don't let me drop
Or at least have a net there

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Burying your head in your hands looks like a deserted plan
Yes, the ride is short with temptations to abort
Okay, the ride may stall, you still sound off the bugle call

[Chorus]
Muscle memory is what I use to carry me
Muscle memory, ain't no way I worry 'bout anything
Muscle memory, I reference stuff I know
Muscle memory, then put my feet down and go

[Outro]
And I go, yeah
And I go
There I go
