This song is about how much the 'Bulwark' name means to me and how it helped me to rebuild.

I advocated for the devil even went he didn't want me,
Tried to walk out on my own but afterlife couldn't afford it,
They closed the gates coz angels found me just a little mean,
Told me 'ain't no way you'll ever be clean'

Placed me on a mountain top and told me 'climb down by yourself',
Gave me everything I needed to slide right down into hell,
Laughed at me when I turned around and cursed them as I fell,
Infinity into a bottomless well,

And those who watched me land face down in the mire,
Showed me little faith, coz the way that i'm wired,
For the scars I claimed through actions of stupidity,
But I was still alive,

Building layers of corrosion around a broken heart,
Every fight leaving scars,
Every woman left a mark,
Every mirror spawned a hateful glare that left me feeling stark,
'You ain't blessed, but you don't get to die, back to the start'

Earn your name, you think you're a big man?
Take that anger take everything and make it right,
A Bulwark isn't how well you can burn through the land,
It's about anchoring down and holding out for the light,

You're big and strong, your heart was never the problem,
None of that's worth shit if there's no one upstairs,
Observe, analyze the mountains edge,
What you can't articulate try to write instead,

You ain't the only one who's fucked up and is fucked up,
Don't blame your shit on those brave enough to show you love,
Just coz you don't believe that your worth a damn,
Doesn't mean they can't try to lift your dumbass up,

Back to the start, until you realize you may be worth it,
Is it sinking in yet? Are you putting it together?
That he may actually see you as a friend,
That in your eyes she may see a chance at forever,

And those who watched me make it back to the living,
Call me 'Bulwark' yeah!
For the scars I claimed it was stupid but shit,
I'm alive!
I'm alive!
I'm alive!
And it took forever to realize but shit,
I'm alive!
I'm alive!
I'm alive!
By some miracle i'm still here, still alive.
