Beneath the Rust

The clock is cracked its hands don’t care

A ghost of time just lingers there

Shadows hum where the light won’t dare

And I’m still searching

Is there gold in this dust

Or just whispers I can’t trust

Beneath the rust beneath the grime

Buried deep in the wreck of time

There’s a heart that beats

There’s a spark that frees

Beneath the rust beneath the rust

The wind it howls like a dog gone wild

The trees bend low like a punished child

The earth keeps secrets so defiled

But I keep digging

Is there treasure in this crust

Or just dreams that turn to dust

Beneath the rust beneath the grime

Buried deep in the wreck of time

There’s a heart that beats

There’s a spark that frees

Beneath the rust beneath the rust
