Rust and Bone

[Verse 1] The paint is peeling from the walls of this old room We’re weaving threads of anger on a rusty loom I touch the scars to remind me I’m still awake Counting every single promise that you had to break [Pre-Chorus] The countdown starts inside my head Living off the scraps of what you said [Chorus] Lay me down in rust and bone In this desert, I’m the only stone Cover my eyes from the blinding sun Look at the damage that we have done Yeah, we’re coming undone... [Verse 2] The river’s dry but we keep trying to wash our hands Building castles out of black and shifting sands A bitter taste of copper sitting on my tongue Singing the anthems that we should have never sung [Pre-Chorus] The countdown starts inside my head Living off the scraps of what you said [Chorus] Lay me down in rust and bone In this desert, I’m the only stone Cover my eyes from the blinding sun Look at the damage that we have done Yeah, we’re coming undone... [Guitar Solo] [Heavy, distorted guitar solo, deeply expressive and slightly discordant, backed by a ponderous bassline] [Bridge] I’m crawling through the dirt again Trying to find where the healing ends Are you numb? Have you won? Look what we’ve become... [Chorus] Lay me down in rust and bone In this desert, I’m the only stone Cover my eyes from the blinding sun Look at the damage that we have done Yeah, we’re coming undone... [Outro] Rust and bone... Nothing left to own. Just bury the shell... Bury it well. [Abrupt end on a final lingering vocal harmony]
