Rust and Blackout (Version 2)

Intro

Ash falls slow through the black light.

Find me here.

Verse

Grey dust on the shoulders where we stood.

Rust in every line of your neck now.

The hum is low as the current bends.

Your pulse finds mine against the fence.

Pre-Chorus

Hold your breath while the sky turns gold.

Watch how it burns, watch the embers fold.

We won't leave till the air turns white.

Not yet, not tonight.

Chorus

Rust and blackout

Sink in the dark

Hold my shoulder tight through the smoke

Let it burn out of sight

Rust and blackout

Feel it climb up

Every nerve is a wire to your spine

Nothing else we need to say

Rust and blackout

Slow as stone

Watch how ash hangs over the throne

This whole city is burning slow

Verse

Your collarbone cuts a line in my jaw.

Smoke curls like iron on copper now.

The floor turns to dust where our feet land.

Your breath in mine, no sound of it planned.

Pre-Chorus

Hold your breath while the sky turns gold.

Watch how it burns, watch the embers fold.

We won't leave till the air turns white.

Not yet, not tonight.

Chorus

Rust and blackout

Sink in the dark

Hold my shoulder tight through the smoke

Let it burn out of sight

Rust and blackout

Feel it climb up

Every nerve is a wire to your spine

Nothing else we need to say

Rust and blackout

Slow as stone

Watch how ash hangs over the throne

This whole city is burning slow

Bridge

No words, just heat in the chest.

Your pulse against my neck now pressed.

Watch it rise up through our hair.

Nothing here that's not air.

Chorus

Rust and blackout

Sink in the dark

Hold my shoulder tight through the smoke

Let it burn out of sight

Rust and blackout

Feel it climb up

Every nerve is a wire to your spine

Nothing else we need to say

Rust and blackout

Slow as stone

Watch how ash hangs over the throne

This whole city is burning slow
