Crown of Rust

Spit in the sink

Blood on the mirror

Name in the dust

Getting smaller

Thinner

Knuckles all split

From a fight with my past

Every cracked tooth grin

Says this won’t last

I wear a crown of rust

Heavy on my head

But I won’t break

Bend in the weight of the trust

That all of you threw away

If every scar is a judge

Let ’em circle

Let ’em all berate

I wear a crown of rust

But I decide what it makes

Friends like smoke

All gone in the daylight

Cold black phone

Lighting up with the silence

Dig my heels in

In this flooded room

If this ship goes down

I’ll be steering the doom (yeah)

I wear a crown of rust

Heavy on my head

But I won’t break

Bend in the weight of the trust

That all of you threw away

If every scar is a judge

Let ’em circle

Let ’em all berate

I wear a crown of rust

But I decide what it makes

Let the sky fall flat

I’ve already cracked inside

You can carve your words

I’m still here

Tongue tied

Then I bite through the bit

Spit the metal taste out

I’m the storm you built

When you chose your doubt (hey!)

I wear a crown of rust

Heavy on my head

But I won’t break

Bend in the weight of the trust

That all of you threw away

If every scar is a judge

Let ’em circle

Let ’em all berate

I wear a crown of rust

Watch me rise from the weight
