Rust Crown (Version 2)

Verse

Iron rain on the black concrete skin

Static hum where the daylight ends

Crown of rust upon my forehead cold

Tide pulls under, I let it hold

The iron crown is a river now

Carrying me past the sound and down

No face left behind the chrome

Just the bass line breathing home

Pre-Chorus

Feet leave the ground, don't need them anymore

Bones go loose where the current pours

Something's pulling at my spine like chain

I let it take what I've never given to the pain

Chorus

Rust crown, pull me under

Let the iron hold me down

Rust crown, no more standing

Just the current now, just the sound

Verse 2

Grey mist rolling off the collarbone

Floor gives out before I'm gone

Hands up lifted toward an empty sky

Nothing left but the pulse inside

Wires burning on the ceiling grid

Current climbing past my ribs and lid

Crown of rust around a heart that's flat

Still it pulls me where the current's at

Pre-Chorus

Feet leave the ground, don't need them anymore

Bones go loose where the current pours

Something's pulling at my spine like chain

I let it take what I've never given to the pain

Chorus

Rust crown, pull me under

Let the iron hold me down

Rust crown, no more standing

Just the current now, just the sound

Bridge

No name left upon this floor

No face, no breath, no door

Just rust and wire and low-end hum

Nothing left but becoming one with it all

Chorus

Rust crown, pull me under

Let the iron hold me down

Rust crown, no more standing

Just the current now, just the sound
