Rust Crown Rising (Version 2)

Verse

Steel dust settling on my skin

Every hand that touched me gone

Last light fading through the grate

Nothing left but iron dawn

Rust begins where the crown ends

Feet still moving though the mind is done

Bones remember what the eyes forget

I'm the last one dancing when it's all spent

Pre-Chorus

Let the rust take my name tonight

Floor won't stop until I break light

Every pulse a spark that won't fall back

Skin goes cold but keeps on crawling

Chorus

Rust crown rising through the dark

Hands let go, heart still starts

Iron skin, gold in the vein

I'm the last one dancing in the rain

Verse 2

Wires humming where my veins should be

Floor still pulling, holding me

Nobody's watching, nobody sees

Just the beat and what it made of me

Sweat turns cold then warm again

Every heartbeat strips another layer thin

Hands up high but the name I wore

Was never mine to keep or lose

Pre-Chorus

Let the rust take my name tonight

Floor won't stop until I break light

Every pulse a spark that won't fall back

Skin goes cold but keeps on crawling

Chorus

Rust crown rising through the dark

Hands let go, heart still starts

Iron skin, gold in the vein

I'm the last one dancing in the rain

Bridge

No face left to hold this beat

Just the pulse and what it's made of heat

Every heartbeat strips me bare

Nothing lost is something I don't care

Chorus

Rust crown rising through the dark

Hands let go, heart still starts

Iron skin, gold in the vein

I'm the last one dancing in the rain
