Rust Crown

[Verse 1]
Teeth in the concrete
Tongue tastes rust and hate
You sold me plastic halos
Called it a twist of fate
Drag my name through the furnace
Brand your lie in my spine
Every promise was poison
You poured it like cheap wine
[Chorus]
Doom in my lungs
I choke on the air
Crown made of rust
Throne of despair
You want my faith?
I’ve got nothing to spare
(I only trust the pain)
I wear this rusted crown of despair
[Verse 2]
Kicked in the stained-glass window
Shards still stuck in my hands
Kneel in the mess of your temple
Laugh as your idols demand
You pray to your paper saviors
I sharpen my grief to a blade
Carve every scar into scripture
Your kingdom was built to decay
[Chorus]
Doom in my lungs
I choke on the air
Crown made of rust
Throne of despair
You want my faith?
I’ve got nothing to spare
(I only trust the pain)
I wear this rusted crown of despair
[Bridge]
Burn it
Break it
Tear out the wires in my head (hey!)
Fear it
Face it
I’m louder than the voice of the dead
[Chorus]
Doom in my lungs
I choke on the air
Crown made of rust
Throne of despair
You want my faith?
I’ve got nothing to spare
(I only trust the pain)
I wear this rusted crown of despair

Verses ride a stomping half-time groove with whispered-to-screamed lines; chorus erupts into wide, dissonant chords and gang shouts. Add distorted bass, metallic percussion hits, and sudden stop-start breaks for whiplash aggression and tension., metal, male vocals, industrial metal, nu metal, death metal, hard rock
