Rust Choir

Lyrics

Intro
Lock the doors.
Count the breaths.
Hear the chain.
Hear the chain.

Verse 1
I wake in a sheet of frost
Under a ceiling of teeth
The hallway learns my name
From the scrape of my feet
A red eye blinks in the wall
Like it knows what I did
Something lives in the ducts
And it feeds when I live

Pre-Chorus
Hands on the glass
Cold on my skin
It says my name
From deep within
Hold it back
Hold it back
I can’t

Chorus
Rust choir, sing me down
Rust choir, under now
Cold hands on my throat
Cold hands, cold hands
Rust choir, sing me down
Rust choir, under now
I am not alone
I am not human

Verse 2
The floor keeps counting my steps
Like a judge in the dark
Bolts in the wall start to shake
When I open my heart
Every wire in the room
Has a pulse of its own
Every thought I bury deep
Gets dragged through the bone

Pre-Chorus
Hands on the glass
Cold on my skin
It says my name
From deep within
Hold it back
Hold it back
I can’t

Chorus
Rust choir, sing me down
Rust choir, under now
Cold hands on my throat
Cold hands, cold hands
Rust choir, sing me down
Rust choir, under now
I am not alone
I am not human

Bridge
Beneath the paint
Beneath the skin
There’s a factory
Turning within
Hit by hit
Tooth by tooth
It wears my face
It wears my truth

Breakdown
Kneel
Be still
Obey
This shell
Kneel
Be still
Obey
This shell

Final Chorus
Rust choir, sing me down
Rust choir, under now
Cold hands on my throat
Cold hands, cold hands
Rust choir, sing me down
Rust choir, under now
I am not alone
I am not human

Outro
Lock the doors.
Count the breaths.
The room still moves.
The room still moves.
