Rouble in the Rust (versione 2)

Verse

Concrete breath through a rusted grate

Spilled oil where the streetlights used to be

Every corner got a different tale of me

I keep my pockets light so the city don't own me

Four walls made of smoke and neon haze

Same four blocks that stole the color from your face

No one here remembers who they came for

Just the rust and what it does for more

Pre-Chorus

So I don't ask where this money's coming from

I just grab it, watch the numbers run

Tell me when the ceiling learns to fall

Then I'll know if winning was worth it all

Chorus

Rubles in the rust, gold between my teeth

Every city wants a piece of every beat

I don't own this skin, it's just a suit they lend

So I spend it, disappear with what remains

Verse 2

Sirens on repeat like a chorus to the floor

Windows shaking where the speakers roar

Nobody asks me why I still stay here

Nobody asks because nobody cares

The statue outside is covered in tin foil skin

I walk past twice and watch the rust begin

Pre-Chorus

So I don't ask where this money's coming from

I just grab it, watch the numbers run

Tell me when the ceiling learns to fall

Then I'll know if winning was worth it all

Chorus

Rubles in the rust, gold between my teeth

Every city wants a piece of every beat

I don't own this skin, it's just a suit they lend

So I spend it, disappear with what remains

Bridge

Maybe I'm the one who built this tower to fall

Maybe rust was always going to win it all

Outro

Rubles in the rust

Gold between my teeth
