BookAria - Beneath The Name

Five 5am in frozen steel
Skates and blood and howling wheels
One more lap, one more shot
Love was something that he was not
Every bruise became a rule
Every lesson sharp and cruel
Win or break, but never bend
That's how boys like me begin
The crowd sees glory, lights, and fame
A captain's smile, a famous name
But under every cheer I hear, the
I spent my life to fear
I spent my whole life running from his name
Praying I would never be the same
Every game, every scar, every fight
Still he followed me into the light
Then you looked when nobody had been
Past the armor, past the ice beneath my skin
