Rust in My Light

Lyrics

Intro
I hear it in the walls
A gear turns in my chest
Something learns my name
[whispered] It knows where I sleep

Verse 1
Your shadow moved first
Across the broken pane
Then the lock clicked twice
Like teeth in the rain
I kept my hands still
But the room kept breathing
Every nail in the floor
Was a little lie leaving

Pre-Chorus
Don't look back
Don't say my name
It's in the vents
It's in the frame
My skin goes cold
When it calls
I hear it crawl
Inside the walls

Chorus
Darkness in my light
Darkness in my light
It lives in my light
It lives in my light
(Stay back) it knows my face
(Stay back) it takes my place

Verse 2
The mirror came late
With a grin in the glass
My pulse in the pipes
Like a fist in the pass
I fed it my fear
And it wanted more
Now the hallway bends
When I touch that door

Pre-Chorus
Don't look back
Don't say my name
It's in the vents
It's in the frame
My skin goes cold
When it calls
I hear it crawl
Inside the walls

Chorus
Darkness in my light
Darkness in my light
It lives in my light
It lives in my light
(Stay back) it knows my face
(Stay back) it takes my place

Verse 3
I ripped at the wires
Found my own voice there
Twisted and thin
In the stale black air
It said "you made me"
With my mouth shut tight
Now the whole house shakes
When I close my eyes

Bridge
I was never alone
I was built for the bleed
Every fear I buried
Started feeding the seed
Now the floor drops out
And the ceiling splits
I can taste my name
On its metal lips

Breakdown
Break it
Break it down
Hands in the dark
Drag me down
Break it
Break it down
My own fear
Wears my crown

Chorus
Darkness in my light
Darkness in my light
It lives in my light
It lives in my light
(Stay back) it knows my face
(Stay back) it takes my place

Outro
A gear turns in my chest
The room goes still
Something learned my name
And I made it real
[whispered] Darkness whispers in my light
