Rust in the current (version 2)

Verse

Bare feet on the cracked concrete floor

Wires crackle where the current scores

Grey smoke hangs where the lights have been

Nobody moving under the rain again

Fingertips numb and open wide

Iron taste in my throat when I breathe inside

Every pulse that climbs cuts down the light

I've lost track of what it means to be alive

Pre-Chorus

Bodies sway in sync with a different beat

Skin on fire in the black, nothing to repeat

Let the current take all the rest

Into this dark where we are blessed

Chorus

Rust in the current, rust in my veins

Rust in the current, and I'm not insane

Bones burn quiet under the grey

Nothing left but the pulse of this place

I don't mind dying when it feels like home

Lost in the dark where the wires have grown

Verse

Windows shatter with a static sigh

Concrete breathes as it slowly dies

No one's counting the minutes on my wrist

We're just dust that the current dismisses first

Copper veins and an iron chest

Every heartbeat is a burning guest

I don't need to remember who I've been

Just skin that's burning in this electric steam

Pre-Chorus

Bodies sway in sync with a different beat

Skin on fire in the black, nothing to repeat

Let the current take all the rest

Into this dark where we are blessed

Chorus

Rust in the current, rust in my veins

Rust in the current, and I'm not insane

Bones burn quiet under the grey

Nothing left but the pulse of this place

I don't mind dying when it feels like home

Lost in the dark where the wires have grown

Bridge

No name. No light. No wall.

Just this body on fire with all.

Hold this feeling till it turns to stone.

Let me burn till I'm just a hum alone.

Rust in the current. Rust and gone.

Into the dark where no one's home.

Cold circuit breaks. We are free.

Nothing left but the pulse of the sea

Chorus

Rust in the current, rust in my veins

Rust in the current, and I'm not insane

Bones burn quiet under the grey

Nothing left but the pulse of this place

I don't mind dying when it feels like home

Lost in the dark where the wires have grown

Outro

Skin on fire. Pulse is mine.

Into the current until we're one.
