Ballast and Rust (version 2)

Verse

Iron deck and diesel air

Anchor chain still gripping there

Salt in every seam I own

Engine dead but I move alone

Pre-Chorus

Rust runs deep where the hull went black

Ballast tank won't pull me back

Feet on steel, the tide won't wait

Push the hour past the gate

Chorus

Move till the lights come up

Move till the lights come up

Ballast and rust, but I don't stop

Move till the lights come up

Verse

Harbor lamp is burning low

Cargo gone, but I don't know

Rope gone slack around my wrist

Count the hours I still exist

Pre-Chorus

Rust runs deep where the hull went black

Ballast tank won't pull me back

Feet on steel, the tide won't wait

Push the hour past the gate

Chorus

Move till the lights come up

Move till the lights come up

Ballast and rust, but I don't stop

Move till the lights come up

Bridge

No port left

No name to keep

Just the hum

And the black deep

Chorus

Move till the lights come up

Move till the lights come up

Ballast and rust, but I don't stop

Move till the lights come up
