Look at what is left of what was once safe and sound! Every promise wrecked, until there was no more trust Nothing in this ribcage but a heart made of rust! Alas! Consumed by the rust! ❖ ── 🪕 ── ❖ 🎼── Verse 2── 🎼 Disintegrating fieldstone, windows cracked to shards The fire died in the hearth, the flowers in the yard We looked away from what was coming down the track Ignored the brittle hinges till they snapped across the back Piece by piece, you left it all tumbled in the clay Defiled by the weather and words you wouldn’t say 🎼── Pre-Chorus ── 🎼 Drip, drip, drip into the dark, into the sunken stone The final spark of hope blown out, abandoned and alone You cannot repair the mortise when the foundation dies We built our little palace on a thousand silent lies! 🎼── Chorus ── 🎼 Now the gate gives way and the roof is coming down! Look at what is left of what was once safe and sound! Every promise wrecked, until there was no more trust Nothing in this ribcage but a heart made of rust! Alas! Consumed by the rust! ❖ ── 🪕 ── ❖ 🎼── Bridge ── 🎼 First the latch gave out… Then the pillars fell The dwelling place of two fools Made a cold and rigid hell Trapped inside the cellar… Helpless in the clay… Waiting for the orange rot to take me away ❖ ── 🪕 ── ❖ Take me away 🎼── Final Chorus ── 🎼 Now the house is gone! Alas, the gate is down! The ruins lie scattered across the frozen ground! Blow by blow, day by day, we crushed it into dust I’m nothing but wasteland! With a heart made of rust! Completely consumed by the rust! 🎼── Outro ── 🎼 Eternal dark… Eternal cold… Just iron turning into red All that’s left is rust Rust to dust (Rust to dust) Rust to dust ❖ ── 🪕 ── ❖ ─── ❖ ── 🎼 ── ❖ ───🪕─── ❖ ── 🎼 ── ❖ ─── ─── ❖ ── 🎼 ── ❖ ───🪕─── ❖ ── 🎼 ── ❖ ─── 🎶We are the **StorytellerZ** – the German hub for Suno artists. 🗒️You can find us on Discord: 👉 https://discord.gg/storytellerz ❤️We look forward to seeing you!
