Armored Hands

[Verse 1] You came to me with armored hands, A thousand walls, a thousand plans. Certain every road was yours, Certain every heart had doors. But something changed beneath the skin, A quiet tide was pulling in. Not through force and not through fire, Only through a deeper desire. [Verse 2] You thought the storm was in your grasp, Lightning sleeping in your clasp. Yet every step that drew you near Left behind another fear. And while you searched for ways to lead, I became the thing you need. Not a prison, not a chain— Only shelter from the rain. [Chorus] You call it surrender, I call it home. You say you're captured, Yet freely you've come. The stars above us never asked why, The ocean never questions the sky. And somewhere between your heartbeat and mine, We stopped drawing the line. [Verse 3] No locks remain for either soul, No throne to claim, no crown to hold. Only the warmth of a hand in the dark, Only the glow of a hidden spark. And every battle that you fought Fades into a distant thought. Like winter leaving without a sound, Like lost things finally being found. [Bridge] Lay down your sword. Lay down your name. You don't have to carry Every wound, every flame. Nothing is broken. Nothing is owed. Just rest beside me And let the silence unfold. [Final Chorus] You call it surrender, I call it trust. You call it weakness, Yet stronger than us. No chains between us, No victory won. Only two wandering hearts Becoming one. [Outro] The night grows quiet. The stars burn slow. And for the first time, You no longer walk alone.
