Rust Lyrics by Kris Angelis

The Left Atrium

2013

We built a fort together
You built one around your heart
You let me in, in sunny weather
Locked me out when the rains fell hard
I stood out in the storm
Cause you had things to do
But I would rather walk alone
Than sit around being lonely for you
I'm getting off this carousel I've ridden by your side
I will keep myself in tact and you can keep your pride
So kiss me for the last time
Don't watch me walk away
Cause if I don't do this for me it'll be my dying day
I'm handing you the key to those accursed chains
And you'll be walking free
But those chains will rust when it rains
No matter how I counted you found a place to hide
All my seeking only led me to your shore at low tide
So I waded in the water hoping you might throw me a line
All I got was soaking wet but I'll dry off in time
I'm getting off this seesaw we've ridden up and down
You can keep your hidden heart and I'll ride on out of town
Just kiss me for the last time
Don't watch me walk away
Cause if I don't do this for me it'll be my dying day
I'm handing you the key to those accursed chains
And you'll be walking free
But those chains will rust when it rains
When the rain comes down and the pressure's high
All the dirt gets carried away
When the rain don't stop pouring from the sky
You'll have to face your judgement day
(repeats)
So kiss me for the last time
And watch me walk away
I'll take your pain with each step
On this, your dying day
I'm handing you the key to those accursed chains
And you'll be walking free almighty
But those chains will rust when it rains
Those chains will rust when it rains
You took a link from an old chain
And threw it right in the sea
Though you held my hand through that
You never had one for me
Can you feel the thunder in the ground?
Can you taste the coming rain?
The next time that it comes around
You know I'm getting on that train
Can you hear the whistle cry my pain
Cause nothing can remain?
Everything must return to dust
And wash away when it rains
Everything must return to dust
And wash away
Wash away when it rains
