Ballast and Rust lyrics
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
