We don't break

[Intro]
(Yeah)
Keep the weight on my back
Cold wind in the bricks
We don't fold
(Never fold)
Listen

[Verse 1]
Heavy iron in the winter frost
Count the toll of what the project lost
I carry bodies through the freezing rain
Numb the nerve to disregard the pain
They need an anchor when the sky is gray
Hold the pillar so we don't decay
Guarding family from the wolves outside
Nowhere left for a weak soul to hide
Every shoulder bearing heavy lead
Keep my people fed, keep us ahead
Watch the corner where the dealers creep
Never closing eyes, we never sleep
Standing solid like a granite wall
If I stumble then we all will fall
Take the pressure till the metal bends
This is where the easy pathway ends

[Chorus]
We don't break under the heavy sky
(Never fold)
Keep the fire when the wells run dry
(Hold it down)
I stand solid for the ones I lead
Provide the harvest for the mouths we feed
We don't break under the heavy sky
(Never fold)
Keep the fire when the wells run dry
(Hold it down)

[Verse 2]
Snakes are hissing in the dark alley
Trying to steal the strength inside of me
But my blood is like a frozen lake
Not a single promise I will break
They look to me to hold the heavy gate
Standing tall against a bitter fate
Armor plating on my chest and mind
Leave the doubts and the fear behind
Through the winter we survive the storm
Keep the circle of the family warm
No surrender in the muddy track
Got the neighborhood upon my back
Every brick is stained with old tears
Overcoming all the buried fears
Still we stand, we never compromise
See the hunger in my people's eyes

[Chorus]
We don't break under the heavy sky
(Never fold)
Keep the fire when the wells run dry
(Hold it down)
I stand solid for the ones I lead
Provide the harvest for the mouths we feed
We don't break under the heavy sky
(Never fold)
Keep the fire when the wells run dry
(Hold it down)

[Outro]
No surrender
We hold the line
(Hold it down)
Heavy iron in the frost
(Never fold)
For my people
We never drop
(Yeah)
We stay anchored
