Rust in the Sky

Concrete lungs

I breathe in dust

Billboards preaching

"Obey or rust"

Barcode sunrise

Burns my eyes

Children queue

For their daily lies

Rust in the sky

Ash in my teeth

I can't remember

What it means to breathe

Hands to the glass

Watching us decay

Rust in the sky

And it flakes away

Midnight curfew

Sirens grin

Steel-toothed towers

Counting sin

Neighborhood echoes

Erased by drones

Name is a number

Stamped in bone

Rust in the sky

Ash in my teeth

I can't remember

What it means to breathe

Hands to the glass

Watching us decay

Rust in the sky

And it flakes away

Who will mourn

A world like this

Burned-out screens

And counterfeit bliss

I dream in grayscale

Static and code

Walk these ruins

On a scripted road

Rust in the sky

Ash in my teeth

I can't remember

What it means to breathe

Hands to the glass

Watching us decay

Rust in the sky

‘Til we fade away
