[Verse 1]
Came in with the dented grin
Mud on the boots, let the night begin
You talk big, I don't flinch
Cold on my tongue like a broken switch
Backseat full of wrath and smoke
Hands on the wheel like I never choked
I been carved from the bad idea
Heart in a cage and it disappeared
[Pre-Chorus]
Count down, hear the room go still
One more breath, then I bend that steel
Eyes on me when the floor drops out
Say my name, then you scream it loud
[Chorus]
Rust in the teeth, rust in the teeth
Bite down hard, make it bleed for me
Rust in the teeth, rust in the teeth
I don't break clean, I come back mean
(come back mean)
Rust in the teeth, rust in the teeth
You want a war, then come find me
[Verse 2]
I got scars like a barcode line
Read my face and you read your spine
No peace in the back of my skull
Just a red-hand grip and a loaded pull
You move like fear in a borrowed coat
I move like a blade when the fuse is smoked
Every word that you throw my way
Turns to iron when I say your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Count down, hear the room go still
One more breath, then I bend that steel
Eyes on me when the floor drops out
Say my name, then you scream it loud
[Chorus]
Rust in the teeth, rust in the teeth
Bite down hard, make it bleed for me
Rust in the teeth, rust in the teeth
I don't break clean, I come back mean
(come back mean)
Rust in the teeth, rust in the teeth
You want a war, then come find me
[Bridge]
Pull it apart, let the wires show
I was made in the undertow
No soft hands, no second skin
Just the same old fire under it
Say it again if you need that proof
I'm the crack in the polished truth
When the last light falls from the screen
I'll still stand with rust in my teeth
[Final Chorus]
Rust in the teeth, rust in the teeth
Bite down hard, make it bleed for me
Rust in the teeth, rust in the teeth
I don't break clean, I come back mean
(come back mean)
Rust in the teeth, rust in the teeth
You want a war, then come find me
Rust in the teeth, rust in the teeth
I don't break clean, I come back mean
