Black Rust Psalm

[Verse 1] Ash in the gutters Bread gone thin Men sell their names For a crust and gin Screens full of teeth And hands full of lies We learned to kneel With our eyes shut tight Foundations crack Under painted sin Every door locked Every fear comes in [Pre-Chorus] I taste the smoke On the back of my tongue Hear the whole block Grinding down to one [Chorus] Black rust in my veins Black rust in my veins We break, we break Then we rise again Black rust in my veins Black rust in my veins Burn it all down I won't bow again [Verse 2] Mother's hands shook On a second chance Father sold hope For a factory scan Kids on the curb With no future line Counting their cuts By the parking signs My head full of knives My chest full of hail I wear this rage Like a rusted mail [Pre-Chorus] Hear the sirens pray To a dead machine I got a war Right under my skin [Chorus] Black rust in my veins Black rust in my veins We break, we break Then we rise again Black rust in my veins Black rust in my veins Burn it all down I won't bow again [Bridge] [Half-time] Pull me under Let the cold speak first I fed on shame Till it turned to curse Turn the blade in Watch the old walls split I am the wound And the fist that hit [scratch burst] [Final Chorus] Black rust in my veins Black rust in my veins We break, we break Then we rise again Black rust in my veins Black rust in my veins Burn it all down I won't bow again Black rust in my veins Black rust in my veins Primal and dark I am not done yet
