Rust In My Chest

I tore your name from my tongue

Spit it into the drain

Red on the bathroom tile

Old song, same pain

You left your ring by the sink

Like a joke in cold gold

I watched it roll in the dark

Didn’t feel a thing unfold

So keep your roses

Keep your lies

I learned the hard way

How to survive

Fuck love, fuck love

Burn it down

Fuck love, fuck love

Drag it out

I want the scars

I want the steel

I want my heart to learn to kneel

I fed the wolf in my ribs

Till it learned how to bite

Now every soft little promise

Turns to dust in the night

Your kiss was a blade in my mouth

Sweet till it drew blood

Now I wear the crack in my chest

Like a crown made of mud

So keep your roses

Keep your lies

I learned the hard way

How to survive

Fuck love, fuck love

Burn it down

Fuck love, fuck love

Drag it out

I want the scars

I want the steel

I want my heart to learn to kneel

Say my name like a curse

I won’t come back

Say “forever” to the dirt

Watch it split in black

I was soft once

I was blind

Now I bite down hard

On the rest of my life

Fuck love, fuck love

Burn it down

Fuck love, fuck love

Drag it out

I want the scars

I want the steel

I want my heart to learn to kneel

Fuck love, fuck love

Hear me roar

Fuck love, fuck love

I don’t beg anymore

I want the storm

I want the flame

I carved my name out of the pain
