(Verse 1) The words I sing taste like rust, Twisted metal under my tongue, Echoes of a life I've almost lost, In a world too far from love. I carved my name into the cold, But it’s fading with every lie I told, Shadows crawl beneath my skin, A battle that I’ll never win. (Pre-Chorus) I’m drowning in the silence, Crushed beneath the weight of violence, Every scream is a whisper now, And I’m too broken to figure out how. (Chorus) The words I sing taste like rust, Cracking open what was once trust, Bleeding through the cracks I made, A heart too empty, far too late. I wear my scars like skin, A constant reminder of where I've been. (Verse 2) The mirror cracks, a shattered view, I still see the ghost of you. A touch that burns, a kiss that cuts, I’m drowning in this hollow flood. I built my dreams on fragile ground, Fell apart the moment you weren’t around, These echoes are all I have now, A broken song, a silent vow. (Pre-Chorus) I’m buried under echoes, Where love used to live, now it’s hollow. Every heartbeat is just a sound, A rhythm lost, a life unwound. (Chorus) The words I sing taste like rust, Cracking open what was once trust, Bleeding through the cracks I made, A heart too empty, far too late. I wear my scars like skin, A constant reminder of where I've been. (Bridge) I’m screaming at the void inside, A war I’ll never win, but I still try, I can’t breathe without the pain, It’s the only thing that keeps me sane. (Chorus) The words I sing taste like rust, Cracking open what was once trust, Bleeding through the cracks I made, A heart too empty, far too late. I wear my scars like skin, A constant reminder of where I've been. (Outro) And when the silence swallows me whole, I’ll keep singing, with a broken soul. The words I sing taste like rust, But I’ll keep singing, even if I must.
