Rust

Rust grows the longer it's exposed
To prove that people know the mask is slipping
Front rows to watch it decompose
The alloy melts and glows, you see it dripping

The facts spread like cracks on a CRT screen
Everybody's seen the rust
The walls become weak as they weather with age
It covers the cage, the rust

The rust
The rust
The rust
The rust

Rust knows, it reaps the seeds it sows
It meets the fate it chose at the beginning
Blood flows much deeper than before
They're hunting you for sport because you're winning

The gears wet by tears 'til they oxidize red
It's been overfed the rust
The tower collapses, they're trapped in the rafters
They're buried alive in the rust

Rust spreads a thousand toxic threads
The lines that sign the threat of revolution
