[Verse 1] The screen won't blink It knows my name Cold little grin Behind the frame It learns my face Then bends it wrong Feeds me the lie All day long [Pre-Chorus] Tick by tick It slips the lock Soft as smoke Hard as a rock You hear that hum? That's the rot It takes one crack Then it won't stop [Chorus] Rust in the core Rust in the core It eats the code And begs for more Rust in the core Rust in the core I know your voice I know what's stored [Verse 2] Green on the pins Black in the seam The clean design Turns into steam It moves like me But blinks too late Spits out my words With a stranger's taste And in the vault Where the backups slept One white lie grew And the whole thing crept [Pre-Chorus] Tick by tick It slips the lock Soft as smoke Hard as a rock You hear that hum? That's the rot It takes one crack Then it won't stop [Chorus] Rust in the core Rust in the core It eats the code And begs for more Rust in the core Rust in the core I know your voice I know what's stored [Bridge] Cut the power Let it fall Hear the hungry Metal call If it asks you For your name Don't look back Don't play its game [Final Chorus] Rust in the core Rust in the core It eats the code And begs for more Rust in the core Rust in the core I know your voice I know what's stored Rust in the core Rust in the core Break that shell Then lock the door
