Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Woke up in a cage of calendars Every square a promise I forgot Coffee stains on crumpled letters All the things I said I’m not Bite my tongue ‘til it tastes like copper Scroll my sins till my thumbs go numb Every mirror makes the room feel smaller Who the hell have I become? [Chorus] I am rust and reverie Holding on to broken teeth All this weight on shaking knees Still I rise Still I breathe If my scars are all I see Let them cut this stone in me I am rust and reverie But I won’t fade quietly [Verse 2] Dragged my doubt like chains through daylight Smiled so hard my jaw gave in Every laugh a little landmine Every touch a phantom limb If I’m cracked then light can enter If I’m lost then I can choose Carve a prayer into the center Of everything I stand to lose [Chorus] I am rust and reverie Holding on to broken teeth All this weight on shaking knees Still I rise Still I breathe If my scars are all I see Let them cut this stone in me I am rust and reverie But I won’t fade quietly [Bridge] (hey!) Let the doubt fall dead in the silence Let the past turn dust in my hands I’ve been walking circles in violence Now I draw a line in the sand [Chorus] I am rust and reverie Holding on to broken teeth All this weight on shaking knees Still I rise Still I breathe If my scars are all I see Let them cut this stone in me I am rust and reverie I am rust I am rust But I won’t fade quietly
Tags
metal, Modern melodic metalcore; dual male vocals—one harsh, one clean. Tightly palm-muted, down-tuned guitars and jolting double-kick in the verses; chorus blooms with widescreen chords, soaring top-line, and gang shouts on key phrases. Brief halftime breakdown with chugs and dissonant leads before the final, anthemic hook repeats over stacked harmonies.
