Friendly?

Lyrics

Verse 1
Door's half open
Torch in your hand
You wave from the gate
Then you reach for the can

Sleeping bag down
Near the blue sign
I hear you laughing
Like we're both fine

I got a rock
You got a plan
Your voice goes soft
When you spot my clan

One word only
Cuts through the night
Friendly, you said
Then you took what's mine

Pre-Chorus
I know that tone
I know that pause
Hand on the hatch
Finger on the saw

You look me up
Then you look away
The word you use
Means I'm gonna pay

Chorus
Friendly? (friendly?)
That's how it starts
Friendly? (friendly?)
Then you split hearts
Wave that flag
Hide your knife
Friendly? (friendly?)
That's Rust life

Verse 2
I built that base
With scrap and grief
Stone by stone
Just enough to sleep

Code locked tight
TC glowing red
You stood at the wall
With a grin on your head

Sulfur smell
In the cold air
You said "just talk"
Then you stood right there

I opened one crate
You took the rest
Same sweet voice
Same ugly test

Pre-Chorus
I hear that tone
I hear that lie
You say my name
Then you let it die

One step close
One step back
You smile like a friend
Then you swing the axe

Chorus
Friendly? (friendly?)
That's how it starts
Friendly? (friendly?)
Then you split hearts
Wave that flag
Hide your knife
Friendly? (friendly?)
That's Rust life

Bridge
On the roof at dawn
You were still there
Helmet on
Like you never cared

I could've shot
But I let you talk
You said "friendly"
As you climbed the rock

Now your bag's by the shore
Mine's in the dirt
Same old word
Same old hurt

Chorus
Friendly? (friendly?)
That's how it starts
Friendly? (friendly?)
Then you split hearts
Wave that flag
Hide your knife
Friendly? (friendly?)
That's Rust life

Outro
Friendly? (friendly?)
Say it and grin
Friendly? (friendly?)
Then you come back in
Friendly? (friendly?)
I learned that night
In Rust, that word
Means hold on tight
