Calluses by KOZEN Lyrics
I set my skin against the steel
It writes the song that my soul feels
The viciousness of flesh against the strings
The struggling that taught my soul to sing
With my hands I'll forge the voice of the insane and the unsafe
I’ll be ripping through the steel until it breaks
This rough skin, you can never wear it thin
Calluses hammer, bend, and tell it like it is
It's all this friction that leaves you thick-skinned
And still we press on with conviction
Because the darkest day is when you learn to play the blues
Enduring all things and rejoicing with the truth
So when the music fades and all is striped away
This song within remains
With my hands I'll forge the voice of the insane and the unsafe
I’ll be ripping through the steel until it breaks forth into praise
This rough skin, you can never wear it thin
Calluses hammer, bend, and tell it like it is
In the skin that's broken, scarred, and torn
You'll find the place where strength is born
For new life came to human flesh
The day that blood was shed
And this is how my hope sings
Saviour, take these six strings
This rough skin, you can never wear it thin
Calluses hammer, bend, and tell it like it is
It writes the song that my soul feels
The viciousness of flesh against the strings
The struggling that taught my soul to sing
With my hands I'll forge the voice of the insane and the unsafe
I’ll be ripping through the steel until it breaks
This rough skin, you can never wear it thin
Calluses hammer, bend, and tell it like it is
It's all this friction that leaves you thick-skinned
And still we press on with conviction
Because the darkest day is when you learn to play the blues
Enduring all things and rejoicing with the truth
So when the music fades and all is striped away
This song within remains
With my hands I'll forge the voice of the insane and the unsafe
I’ll be ripping through the steel until it breaks forth into praise
This rough skin, you can never wear it thin
Calluses hammer, bend, and tell it like it is
In the skin that's broken, scarred, and torn
You'll find the place where strength is born
For new life came to human flesh
The day that blood was shed
And this is how my hope sings
Saviour, take these six strings
This rough skin, you can never wear it thin
Calluses hammer, bend, and tell it like it is
