Rust in your ribs 2 (wersja 2)

Verse

Busted wheel on the old truck bed

Rust in your ribs where they used to hold me steady instead

Salt in the air and I can taste it leaving my skin

You taught me how to fix what's broke, but that's not all you gave

Was a piece of yourself, folded up tight like a map to get outta here alive

I took the key and I turned it twice

That was the sound of breaking loose from your vice

Pre-Chorus

So why do these streets still taste like your name?

Why is my collarbone still bruised from your hands?

Ain't no proof that you ever had a hold on me

But sometimes in the dark, I can still feel it

Chorus

I'm made of the same metal as this old truck bed

You forged a buckle that's rusted off my ribs instead

I left the iron behind but it's hard to shake what's been said

Rust in your ribs, you're the one who set me free from being dead

Verse 2

Barn door creaking open on another autumn dawn

You stood at the edge of our land with a wrench in your hand and a promise to keep

I thought that was love, but now I see it for what it is:

The first step outta here before you could give me up again

Wasn't no forever, just an exit route

Same metal same hands same heart you taught me how to move

Pre-Chorus

So why do these streets still taste like your name?

Why is my collarbone still bruised from your hands?

Ain't no proof that you ever had a hold on me

But sometimes in the dark, I can still feel it

Chorus

I'm made of the same metal as this old truck bed

You forged a buckle that's rusted off my ribs instead

I left the iron behind but it's hard to shake what's been said

Rust in your ribs, you're the one who set me free from being dead

Bridge

Not a lock, not a chain, just the sweat and the smoke of getting outta here alive

If that's rust, I'll take it as gold because this is how you learn to breathe

Chorus

I'm made of the same metal as this old truck bed

You forged a buckle that's rusted off my ribs instead

I left the iron behind but it's hard to shake what's been said

Rust in your ribs, you're the one who set me free from being dead
