[Intro]
Ash on my tongue
Brown sky breathing
Rot-stained sunrise
Something’s leaving
[Verse 1]
Iron in my lungs
Red rain on my skin
Empty buildings leaning
Like they want to cave in
Carcass-colored river
Foam the shade of bile
Dead eyes in the current
Stare up
Cracked and mild
[Chorus]
I taste the rust
Revelation
Bite down hard on a world gone cold
Every breath
Contamination
We were warned
Now the warning’s old
I taste the rust
Revelation
Cut my teeth on a dying throne
In this grave of a generation
I am flesh
I refuse the stone
[Verse 2]
Glass in the playground
Swings hang
Crooked jaws
Billboards peeling sermons
Over bullet-scribbled laws
Sirens turned to silence
Still hear them in my head
Like a choir of machines
Begging mercy from the dead
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If the water is poison
Let it boil in my veins
If the sky is a casket
I will scratch at the grain
[harsh vocals]
If the earth is a tomb
Let it crack when I scream
I will drag this ending
Through the core of my grief
[Chorus]
