Lost inside yet I found what brought me here
Deep where despair has its home
Breathless child with the scars prevent to grow

Sweet denial I caress

Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn
You bring me rain, the rust in veins
Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn
You bring me hate, the state I'm in

Built these walls to gain secrecy from inside
The bliss engraved to my eyes
Beared this load to find pieces of my soul

Yet sweet denial I caress

And all the mercy drains away tonight
All the mercy drains while I sigh...

Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn
You bring me rain, the rust in veins
Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn
You bring me hate, the state I'm in

Dislike myself, so now I know
You bring me hate, the state I'm in

They make your bed, don't they
Long ago they fought and died for faith - what's changed ?
It's said that we've acquired tolerance to build more bridges
Cross those rivers, yet modern man enslaves his conscious
And the undertow of blame still flows between
Give it birth to the machine - hostilities of ancestry
Slow to understand the variance - quick to judge on one aspect - rust
We call them fools today - they will call us fools in days to come - what's changed
In any age it's ignorance
He that he's not with me is against me
The river of pride swells to high, washing those bridges out to sea
Give it birth to the machine
Too proud to love - Too proud
Soaking in your fears - rusting away
Never comprehending - always condescending
Slow to understand the variance - quick to judge - quick to condem
Carried them for years - stones that they once cast
Place the blame on them as if it were their past
Yesterdays distrust
Resent, Regret, disgust
Still we pay for their living - pay for their mistakes
Who will cast the latest stones of hate
Pay for their misgivings - pay for their living - still we find that on the surface there
Is rust

The letching corpse of rock 'n' roll (4x)

What's done is done (4x)

I don't know what I want, but I want it now
Before we turn to dust
Before we turn to superstition
Before we turn to rust

The letching corpse of rock 'n' roll (4x)

What's done is done (4x)

I don't know what I want, but I want it now
Before we turn to dust
Before we turn to superstition
Before we turn to rust

I don't know what I want, but I want it now
Before we turn to dust
Before we turn to superstition
Before we turn to rust

What's done is done
..........

Living, fighting, obsessing
Just as long as I can share it all with you
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, come rain, come shine
Hell and back, the beginning in between till' the end of time

All that shines turns to rust
All that stands in time turns to dust

As above, so below
But you ain't no fool and honey, I'm damn sure that you know
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, come rain, come shine
Hell and back, the beginning in between till' the end of time

All that shines turns to rust
All that stands in time turns to dust

All that shines turns to rust
All that stands in time turns to dust

All that shines turns to rust
All that stands in time turns to dust

I've got a heart but it's afraid to love
Sometimes i think the damn thing's full of rust
And every time it seems to skip a beat
Rr two or four or five or sometimes three
It pumps something that i cannot call blood
And why'd it have to stop when you said love
'Cause don't you know that at the thought of it
The sucker goes ahead and calls it quits

and henryetta, i've got it bad
and henryetta, it makes me sad
and henryetta, it's just a fact

oh no
