Rust on My Tongue

[Verse 1] I woke up on the floor again Blue bruise on the sink Half a pack in the cereal bowl And a crack in the pink My hands smell like rain and metal My shirt smells like last night I tried to call you from the hallway But the line just bit me back [Pre-Chorus] Got a mouth full of gravel Got a head full of noise Every door in this house Makes a joke of my voice [Chorus] Rust on my tongue Rust on my tongue I keep saying your name But it comes out numb Rust on my tongue Rust on my tongue If this is home, then why Do I feel so undone [Verse 2] The TV glows in the corner Like a bruise on the wall A dog barks three houses over And I answer it all Your jacket hangs by the doorway Like it’s waiting for you I keep staring at the sleeve Like it might tell me what to do [Pre-Chorus] Got a mouth full of gravel Got a head full of noise Every promise I swallowed Turns to dust in my throat [Chorus] Rust on my tongue Rust on my tongue I keep saying your name But it comes out numb Rust on my tongue Rust on my tongue If this is home, then why Do I feel so undone [Bridge] Maybe I’m the one That broke the frame Maybe I wore this hurt Like a second name [Chorus] Rust on my tongue Rust on my tongue I keep saying your name But it comes out numb Rust on my tongue Rust on my tongue If this is home, then why Do I feel so undone
