Blood In Rust

I’ve got this tangled in my chest

All of this spilling over

I’m just waiting to wake up

I wore my heart upon my sleeve

Vulnerably you picked it clean

And left me with nothing to believe

Lying on this grass sheet

Shake the dirt from my feet

Fake the way my fingers take

Flight across the night

Fight the feeling of the love

Or the love that I have swallowed

Hallowed out and broken down

At the end of the road

I only find it harder and harder to breathe

Ripping out my throat while I’m trying to sing

Now I gotta get over you and I’m taking it slowly

This blood in rust I become over and over

I swear that I won’t make a scene

Just make it quick and clean

These drawn out conversations

Straining all the muscles in my chest

You were my house I was your chore

And you just swept me off the floor

I had it all you wanted more

Wishing I were the tires on this car

Dizzy me up and make me walk

Maybe I’d stumble into you

Lie on my back in the yard

Watching as the stars are born

From a millions miles away

They’re just like you

I only find it harder and harder to breathe

Ripping out my throat while I’m trying to sing

Now I gotta get over you and I’m taking it slowly

This blood in rust I become over and over

I gotta give it up, I gotta give it up

It’s now or never and I got things to say

I’m chasing the days - The calendar hides all that I cannot change

I’m fading away - From a life that I thought I could never erase

I’m chasing the days - The calendar hides all that I cannot change

I’m fading away - From a life that I thought I could never erase

I gotta give it up, I gotta give it up

It’s now or never and I got things to say
