We Move Like Rust

Verse

Steel door breathes the last of the smoke

Sodium sky where the night just broke

My jacket's cold, my pulse is slow

Concrete holds the afterglow

Pre-Chorus

Nine a.m. and the bass still rings

Shadows drag on their own strange strings

We don't speak, we just corrode

Down the same grey empty road

Chorus

We move like rust, slow and sure

Eaten through but we endure

Sunrise cuts us pale and thin

We move like rust, we let it in

Verse

Puddles hold the neon's ghost

Traffic hums like a distant host

My hands still shake from the low end's weight

Six more streets to the iron gate

Pre-Chorus

Nine a.m. and the bass still rings

Shadows drag on their own strange strings

We don't speak, we just corrode

Down the same grey empty road

Chorus

We move like rust, slow and sure

Eaten through but we endure

Sunrise cuts us pale and thin

We move like rust, we let it in

Bridge

Not alive, not asleep

Just the burn that the metal keeps

Light comes down like a slow disease

We turn gold, we turn to weep

Chorus

We move like rust, slow and sure

Eaten through but we endure

Sunrise cuts us pale and thin

We move like rust, we let it in
