Hey there! If you’re looking for the lyrics to our second EP, look no further. Below are the lyrics for Rust!
Anthropocene
I remember night skies at the end of the day,
The air touches your face. Everything is ok.
Each sunrise since brings another heatwave,
But that makes no sense ‘cause last weekend it rained.
We sleep in in the morning and we’re starving by nine.
I’ve got my AC running on 75.
There’s no time to try and relate,
I’ve got work till late and I need to get paid ‘cause,
I’m just trying to get by,
But you say the world is going to die.
Today I woke up with a nervous itch.
The next plague in the news is the newest glitch.
Water and oil are ready to switch,
But the whole wide world won’t hear that pitch.
The power shuts down from winter ice
Before the summer breaks in with record highs.
There’s no change or consequence
As the poor pay for it and the rich stay rich.
I’m just trying to get by,
But they say the world is going to die.
And we’re the sacrifice
That power can afford to buy.
We trade each hour for societal lies
That we can keep these comforts while staying alive.
If we keep on storming ahead
While the world’s still burning then we’ll all be dead.
We just tried to get by,
But the world has started to die.
And we were the sacrifice,
But we trust to stand in line.
We fight to stay alive. (x3)
Because it’s just too late to get by.
Ouroboros
Your towers touch the sky in the night.
Ambition’s in your eyes with delight.
(No light.)
And you want it now. Bring it out right now.
Your patience doesn’t die, it revives.
Your people feast on lies all the while.
(You’re just a blight.)
If it lets you down, send it right back out.
If we never notice the game,
The world will provide no escape.
Their actions will move like a snake, but,
It’s their morning vow; They will wear that crown.
I see the tail, it’s held in your mouth,
The blood is spewing out, yeah.
(Goodbye.)
There’s no doubting how it’ll make you bow.
And in the hole you hide by design,
You think you’ll never die.
(You’re going to die.)
But it’s burning down. Let it all burn down.
If we never notice the game,
The world will provide no escape.
Their actions will move like a snake, but,
It’s their morning vow; They will wear that crown.
The danger in our lives
Is neither you nor I,
But the parasitic life they devise.
If we never notice the game,
The world will provide no escape.
Their actions will move like a snake, but,
They are finding out they can’t eat their crown.
Your crown. (x2)
Can you eat your crown? (Repeat)
Ferris Wheel
The lights have stole our eyes.
It’s so pretty when we play outside.
For too long I have loved this place,
But I found doubts that now I can’t escape.
And I wonder if what we are
Is nothing more than passing stars.
The masters have pushed too far,
But they’re not walking in the dark as we are.
(Because it’s worse than what you know.)
And we are.
The lights are turned up brighter.
Busted bolts are simply painted over.
My cries fall on deaf ears.
Those I once loved, now another fear.
And I wonder if what we are
Is nothing more than passing stars.
The masters have pushed too far.
But they’re not walking in the dark as we are.
(Because it’s worse than what you know.)
And we are.
Stop.
Tell me something. The silence is haunting my fears,
My faith. Wait.
It’s worth your dying if it keeps them safe.
And I wonder if what we are
Is nothing more than passing stars.
The masters have pushed too far.
But they’re not walking in the dark as we are.
(Because it’s worse than what you know.)
And we are.
Is that all we are?
Are we just passing stars,
Whose time is burning,
Out?
Afterglow
Are we the final ending?
The roots of life are pending.
When you go outside you’ll feel it.
The walls have been consumed.
It’s odd to think that we’re all out of touch.
Given enough time to weaken,
The seasons lose their use.
If we don’t figure it out it’ll rust.
Are we the final ending?
The roots of life are pending.
Apocalyptic vending.
Let me go. (x2)
Can we all stop pretending,
And not be condescending?
It’s now your blood they’re spending.
Tell me no. (x2)
How hard is it to find a beacon,
A light to hold on to,
Instead of pillars made out of dust?
Seizing my routine is the feeling
That we are going, too,
Powerless in a world unjust.
Are we the final ending?
The roots of life are pending.
Apocalyptic vending.
Let me go. (x2)
Can we all stop pretending,
And not be condescending?
It’s now your blood they’re spending.
Tell me no. (x2)
Can you feel it?
Have you stepped outside to see?
If you’re leaving,
Hold on tight to anything. (Repeat)
Are we the final ending?
The roots of life are pending.
Apocalyptic vending.
Let me go. (x2)
Can we all stop pretending,
And not be condescending?
It’s now your blood they’re spending.
Tell me no. (x2)
Together
How long can we fake it,
Living life like we won’t be subdued?
But we know that it’s coming.
We can see it in waves. It comes for you.
It’s coming for you.
When we open our eyes,
We know we’re in danger.
And it’s ok to cry,
The world’s a disaster.
How many days will we make it,
When instant service is no use?
If the world is ending,
Make the most of each day. It comes for you.
It’s coming for you.
When we open our eyes,
We know we’re in danger.
And it’s ok to cry,
The world’s a disaster.
The time is nigh.
No promise that the lich has found,
Will save you.
But I’m alright.
Together still above the ground,
We’ll stay true.
When we open our eyes.
When we open our eyes,
The world’s a disaster.
When we open our eyes,
We know we’re in danger.
And it’s ok to cry,
The world’s a disaster.
When we open our eyes,
It’s happening faster,
And we’re losing our minds,
While dodging the answer.
I’m alright, yeah.
You’re alive.
Together still above the ground,
Remain true.
The Trigger
There’s a fire the world won’t see.
But the smoke, it’s hard to breathe.
With every action we find
Another choice to follow.
How much time is wasted?
What’s the clock say anyway?
If it’s ever going to be fine,
It’s because we chose to face the day.
And I don’t wanna let it go to sundown.
The fire needs a fight to go away.
If all the world is waiting for a gun sound,
The sign will be a death that comes too late.
Too late.
If the golden age is a frame,
Then the portrait is an empire of greed.
With all the choices we find,
So many unknowns waiting.
How much time is buried?
The clock is dying any day.
If it’s ever going to be fine,
It’s because we chose to face the day.
And I don’t wanna let it go to sundown.
The fire needs a fight to go away.
If all the world is waiting for a gun sound,
The sign will be a death that comes too late.
Too late. Too late.
Where are the fathers of your following?
Making their dollars from your suffering.
You’re leading your daughter to a world that feasts,
On one another for a new machine.
We could do better. We could do better if we find a link. (x2)
And I don’t wanna let it go to sundown.
The fire needs a fight to go away.
If all the world is waiting for a gun sound,
The sign will be a death that comes too late. Too late.
Don’t let it be too late. (x2)
There’s a fire the world won’t see.
Don’t let it be too late.
It’s getting harder now to breathe.
Don’t let it be too late.
