Petrified Lyrics by Tyler Dettloff

The Way The Hook Bends

2015

I've grown so tired and weary of protecting my neck
Just when I let somebody in, I'm a nervous wreck
Passing up highway signs, how'd I grow so blind?
Can't see the canvas I've covered with blood
I wish my heart was made of wood
The brass on my knuckles don't ring right
When I start a fight my hands are tied
Blinders on both eyes [&] I've muted my ears
Is this what I get for being silent for years?
But now I'm speaking up, I'm talking down
Ain't afraid to take a punch now
So walk with me back to the mountains
Where I lost my faith
All the cruel creatures chased me away
And I surrendered my fate
Of walking my own path alone
I can feel it deep in my bones
Thunder rolls in and I'm steppin out
My two feet have no doubts
The stars of my nights they don't give off light
When I'm petrified the melody's right
Foghorns and bellows are grinding my gears
When the ship hits port it unloads for years
But now I'm hoisting up, I'm sailing out
I ain't afraid to get outta here
