Rust

a small contribution to the ever growing collection of solemn songs- this song is called rust and will be part of an EP called Watching It Happen early next year.

this is the longing to hold onto the innocence you left in childhood, because within in it lies a strength.

'what have we become. we started wars, and we were children once.'

lyrics-

cigarette lungs, unhand my mind
I'm only young and this can't be right
my voice old and my throat is dry
I'm only young and this can't be right

dont lead beneath the dust
dont leave behind the dusk
dont let the night seat through my skin
dont let me rust

perforated skin, hold me tight
I'm only a child and this can't be right
my sister is old and my brother is unkind
I'm only a child and this can't be right

dont lead beneath the dust
dont leave behind the dusk
dont let the night seat through my skin
dont let me rust

what have we become
we started wars
and we were children once

what have we become (my brother, my brother)
we started wars
and we were children once (my brother, my brother)

what have we become (my brother, my brother)
we started wars (my sister is lost)
and we were children once (my brother, my brother)

we started wars, and we were children once.
