Rust

The hole we filled with the world we built

And you know damn well it won't save us

So hold it 'til the world stands still

But you know damn well it won't save us

We nailed it shut

A world to rot

And we beg from the bones of the soil to scream back

"No, you can't save us!"

"It won't be us!"

It repeats it again like you breathe old rust

Be the weight to the rope

Be the wolf to the lamb

But it won't do a good goddamn

You can't save us

The road lay long

We were too far gone

Did we burn that bridge?

Am I just sleeping?

Still breathing

Carry gold to dust

It repeats it again like you breathe old rust

Be the change, be the hope

Be the mind to the man

Be the world to the flame

But it won't do a good goddamn this waiting

I will face it with my arms open

I feel these eyes on me

Drink in this sweet surrender (comfort me)

I feed this desperate hunger

I swallow all I'd hoped for

So fuck your prayer for rain

Pray for rust

It won't save us

I feel these hands on me

Welcome this weight, surrender (comfort me)

I am your rope, your burden

The windowless room, the water

So fuck your prayer for rain

Pray for rust

(Damn this waiting)

You can't save us

I feel these eyes on me

Drink in this sweet surrender (comfort me)

I feed this desperate hunger

I swallow all I'd hoped for

So fuck your prayer for rain

I feel these hands on me

Welcome this weight, surrender (comfort me)

I am your rope, your burden

The windowless room, the water

So fuck your prayer for rain

Pray for rust
