Lyrics

Rusted Things

Like rusted things wide awake at night
Hollowed out by the pace of time
It got away from you, time bores a way through you

If what you do makes you who you are
When you fail do you fall apart?
Like it got away from you, life puts an end to you

The world on a hinge may be falling down​​
Until then it still makes a sound​​​
Open eyes looking all around​​​​
See rusted things wearing worn-out crowns​​

You can hardly remember the living land
Bearing decay that is on your hands
As light breaks through, a change is coming over you

The world on a hinge may be falling down​​
Until then it still makes a sound​​​
Open eyes looking all around​​​​
See rusted things wearing worn-out crowns​​

A sad surface that must be scratched​​​
We take our scars, then we give them back​
Even now on our darkest days​​​​
We look for the things we need to be brave​​

Here I am and I’m falling down​​​​​
I’ll be here, I’ll still be here​​​​​​
​​​
The world on a hinge may be falling down​​
Until then it still makes a sound​​​
Open eyes looking all around​​​​
See rusted things,​​​​​​
See rusted things,​​​ ​​​
Rusted things wearing worn-out crowns
