Breach Within
A guy who gave up on his dream and settled for cleaning up after the heroes, until something inside him turned him into the very monster he'd wanted to fight. It's never too late to go after the dream, even when what gets you there is scary.
Scrubbing the blood from the side of the road
Carrying the weight of a heavy-duty load
A faceless man in a hazardous suit
Until a little accident took a deeper root
Now there’s a hum in the center of my chest
I’m the numbered problem, better than the rest
Internal breach, a monster in the cage
I’m the cleanup crew with a nuclear rage
Swallow the power, let the armor grow
I’m the only secret that you’re never gonna know
Eight is the number and the threat is real
With a heart of flesh and a skin of steel
I wanted the badge and I wanted the fight
But I’m caught in the middle of the day and the night
Transforming the terror into a sharp-edged tool
Playing the beast and playing the fool
I know the anatomy, I know where it breaks
I’m the correction for all your mistakes
You think I’m a ghost in the machine
The biggest threat that the city has seen
But I’m the only one standing in the gap
Avoiding the teeth of the ultimate trap!
Internal breach, a monster in the cage
I’m the cleanup crew with a nuclear rage
Swallow the power, let the armor grow
I’m the only secret that you’re never gonna know
Eight is the number and the threat is real
With a heart of flesh and a skin of steel
I’m still on the clock
Just another day at the office
