if it's not real it turns to rust Letra

I love the rain as it falls from the sky

Washing the death from my mind

I love the rain when the torture begins

To wash the memories from my mind

No way to hide from its altar...

The rain is falling from sky

Rain steals the pain

And then you wash my life away

Destroy the demons in my mind

Drive me insane as I stand here in the rain

And wash their bodies from my mind

And the rain falls down

Hard upon my head

And the face of Death

Is taring back again

And the gates of hell

Will burn forever red rusted

Hell

Black is the rain as it falls upon my grave

Washing the memories of my life

Black sheets of rain as the torture begins

To feed the demons in my mind

No way to hide from its altar...

The rain is falling from the sky

Rain steals the pain

And then you wash my life away

Destroy the demons in my mind

Drive me insane as I stand here in the rain

And wash the demons from my mind

And the rain falls down

Hard upon my head

And the face of Death

Is staring back again

And the gates of hell

Will burn forever red rusted

Hell

Busted Bones and Brains from the Savage Drive

1,2,3,4, You ain't getting out of Here Alive

Shakedown Mind, Strip Your Bones of their Flesh

Standing in the Shadow of the Doorway of Death

Sitting here in My Igloo of Blood, Rust, Sweat and Gin

I can't see where my Life Ends and Death Begins

Just let me be in my skin pricked crazy Catus Farm

Busting the Rock of Reason

Giving a Call to Psychedeathic Arms Rusted Feelings Set Deep in my Hard Pulsing Brain

Violent Sonic Vibrations feel no Mortal Pain

You Can try to tear it Down

But it just Snaps back in Your Face

Watch me Fly as I leave this Bullet Spitting Place

Like Apollinaire - with soft words,

I though, what I overcarres you...

But I've wrapped around my hand

Barbed wire - bloody, long...

And even so I took my boots off

I was smelling of my thoughts

Thoughts crooked like a any dick

Thoughts like rainy, heavy clouds...And Benedict's strong fist

Hanging over sleepy head

I was looking in his eyes

Can he hear your swan-song ???

Let the night carry your singing

Up your ears !!! it is worth !!!

Let Amadeus turns in his grave

Let him curse - it's not his note...The rust that I feed, that I grow

Resistant for any words

The rust that I feed, that I grow

Resistant for any wordsThe man who carried the Christ

He's got a knife in his hand

When he will mature - he'll strike

You know, I know - I deserve

The night carry your song

Up your ears - it is worth!!!

Julius turns in his grave

Let him curse - that's not his words...The rust that I feed, that I grow

Resistant for any words

The rust that I feed, that I grow

Resistant for any wordsThe rust that I feed, that I grow

Resistant for any words

The rust that I feed, that I grow

Resistant for any words...

Up on the cross, looking down

My arsehole is the sea and in it you'll drown

(Up on the cross, looking down) In God we trust, in cars we rust Brain is soaked from ultraviolent rays

Phone keeps ringing, ringing ears in the night In God you trust, in cars you rust (rust) Sticks and stones may break your bones

But names will never hurt us

(Living on promises of what could've been) The flesh is stretched, the flesh is blue

The smell of it all is - coming - over you (ha)

(Living on promises) In God we trust, in cars you rust (rust) Sticks and stones might break your bones

But names will never hurt us In God you trust, in cars (we) you rust Talk, talk, talk, talk some more

Till you're blue in the face

(Talk, talk, talk, talk some more)

Your head's on the floor

You're blue in the face

Kick it around and talk some more

Kick it around and talk some more, talk some more In God we trust, in cars we rust The skin is stretched, the skin is blue

The smell of it all is coming - over you In God we trust, in cars we rust (Now I find it has me)

Bones are bleached from ultraviolent rays

(Oh God why me?)

The phone is ringing, ringing ears in the night

(I trusted you totally) In God we trust The flesh is stretched, the flesh is blue

The smell of it all is - coming - over you In God I trust, in my car I rust

In cars we rust, in God we trust

In cars we rust, in God we trust

A happy place, groovy sound,

What cool atmosphere

Piercing eyes and golden hair,

What feeling is there

Hidden sins, trending drinks,

Loving and no fear

Now fiction ends, we want to bend

All people are nearBorn from the ash of this lack

I want steel to come back

By this sound of rustI believe in sacrifice,

I've lost all my reasons

I'm made of hate, I hate the state,

I've warned you, avoid me

Crucifying, terrorizing,

Is my best work

In lust I must, I've no trust;

I'll kill you at lastBorn from the ash of this lack

I want steel to come back

By this sound of rust

We hugged and said good-bye

I said, I'm sure we'll write and call a lot, or at least we'll try

And you said, yeah, but it'll never be the same

And I said I know, but I didn't know, I didn't know what that meant

And here it is, three years later

And you were right, it's not the same at all, everything's changed

I don't know your number by heart anymore

I haven't seen you new house, I don't know your husbandAnd it started out feeling like a long summer vacation

But then we never came back to school

I didn't feel like you made that much of an effort

You didn't really try

Or maybe I just fooled myself into thinking we didn't have to say goodbyeAnd I walk around my house now

Snapping pictures of the rooms, trying to remember how it smells

That's where we always put up the Christmas tree

That's where we pulled on overalls, where I screamed when she told me

And we saved baby lambs on freezing nights

We sat upstairs listening to fights, we brought in wood and cut the lawn

We rang a rusted bell and kittens came running

And I sang at the piano, and now I have to say goodbyeAnd just like you this place can live without me

It already belongs to someone else

And maybe I'll come visit, but not too often, and not for a long time

'Cause I'm going to try to say it, and try to feel it, and try to mean it this time

When I say goodbyeAnd I cried when I showed up at your house that day

You were lying there immobile, there were strangers on the porch

And I grabbed your hand and told you who I was

And I touched your sunken cheek and I asked you if you could blink

And you moaned and tried to tell me that you loved me

You wanted to help, you wanted to hold me and I wanted to be held

But I said you don't have to say a word

I already know, I've already heard and I sobbed on your thin shoulderSo despite your intentions it's really come down to this

There's nowhere left for either of us to hide

I mean it when I say that you're with me, you'll always be

But still I wish you'd say it, I wish you'd look me in the eye and just tell me

That this is goodbye

We're just machines rusting to breathe

Hopeless, helpless, deconstructing ourselves

Wanting to be wanted, willing to waste our lives

Disillusioned, I may never find a sense of homeTake me anywhere, wherever you're going

Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here

Take me anywhere, wherever you're going

Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here, here, hereRobots are rising while the rest of us keep writhing

We're just inferior after all

With the lights out, inspiration, we're a tired nation

Faulty, I don't want a sense of homeTake me anywhere, wherever you're going

Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here

Take me anywhere, wherever you're going

Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here, here, here

Take me anywhere, wherever you're going

Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here

Take me anywhere, wherever you're going

Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me hereTake me anywhere, take me anywhere

Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here

Take me anywhere, take me anywhere

Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here, here, here

We're just machines rusting to breathe

Hopeless, helpless, deconstructing ourselves

Deze stad is van grijs beton

Arbeiders en junks, ik wou dat ik er tegen kon

Uitzichtloos en levensmoe

Ik weet niet waarheen ik weet niet waar naar toeVrienden vragen hoe het met je gaat

Flikker op mijn kop zit vol met haat

Ze hebben het beste met je voor

Ik moet het alleen doen

Ik moet er doorEn al die ellende in mijn hoofd

Kansloos dolend, zwaar verdoofd

Egoistisch, in mezelf gekeerd

Het moet eruit, het is verkeerdVrienden vragen hoe het met je gaat

Flikker op, mijn kop zit vol met haat

Ze hebben het beste met je voor

Het gaat om mij ik moet er doorLaat me met rust man!This city of grey concrete

Workers and junkies, I can't handle it

Got no horizon, tired of it all

I don't know where to go

How's it going? ask my mates

Fuck off, my head is filled with hate

They want the best for me, I know

But I have got to do this aloneAnd all the suffering in my head

Drifting along, heavily sedated

Self-centered, keeping it inside

Got to let it out cos this ain't rightHow's it going? ask my mates

Fuck off, my head is filled with hate

They want the best for me, I know

But I have got to do this aloneLeave me alone!

I know I canIt doesn't mean that I don't love you, one more try with me above you

It's got nothing to do with anything I've had to drink

It's more to do with the way I think

Leave the light on, leave the light on, leave the light on for meI know I canI'm sorry, I'm so sorry, can I get you a cup of coffee?

Don't tell your friends, don't tell your friends, I promise it won't ever happen again

Leave the light on, leave the light on, leave the light on for me

It's frustrating for you, well, it's frustrating for me

You're lying there and you're beautiful

You're beautiful and of course I want to, why wouldn't I?It doesn't mean that I don't love you, one more try with me above you

Leave the light on, leave the light on, leave the light on for me

It's nothing to do with anything I've had to drink

There's something wrong with the way I thinkI know I can, I know I can

I'm fine when I am with my own hand

Never use my rusted gun of Milan

gotta song

it's prettier than your girlfriend

I gotta song

yeah it's cooler than youyou're just so hip

your only gate to heaven

being cool

is that all that you do?you're waiting for something

what it is well you don't know but

you say that you want it real bad

and that's all you're really sure ofyou got first dibs

on second hand clothing

seven inches yeah it gets so hard

keepin' up with the kitsch bach (?) fortunes

all you do is play the thrift store bluesI'm waiting for something

what it is well I don't know but

I know that I want it real bad

and that's all I'm really sure ofI'm just a clown

come laugh at me

and and just hang around

let me rust with you awhile

hang me up

and give me a smile

just for a little whilefuck! fuck! fuck!

I stumble through the wreckage, rusted from the rain

There's nothing left to salvage, no-one left to blame

Among the broken mirrors, I don't look the same

I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rainDissect me 'til my blood runs down into the drain

My bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins

I'm nothing but a tin man, I don't feel any pain

I don't feel any pain, I'm rusted from the rainGo on, crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain

Go on, strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains

And if I'm the King of cowards, you're the Queen of pain

I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rainYou hung me like a picture, now I'm just a frame

I used to be a lap dog, now I'm just a stray

Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay

Left here to decay, I'm rusted from the rainGo on, crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain

Go on, strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains

And if I'm the King of cowards, you're the Queen of pain

I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain

Living, fighting, obsessing

Just as long as I can share it all with you

Yesterday, today tomorrow

Come rain, come shine

Hell and back, the beginning, inbetween

Till' the end of timeAll that shines, turns to rust

All that stands in time

Turns to dustAs above, so below

You ain't no fool and honey I'm damn sure that you know.

Yesterday, today tomorrow

Come rain, come shine

Hell and back, the beginning, inbetween

Till' the end of timeAll that shines, turns to rust

All that stands in time

Turns to dust(Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ah-ah)

(Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ah-ah)

(Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ah-ah)All that shines, turns to rust

All that stands in time

Turns to dustAll that shines, turns to rust

All that stands in time

Turns to dust

Well I'll be damned

Here comes your ghost again

But that's not unusual

It's just that the moon is full

And you happened to callAnd here I sit

My hand on the telephone

Hearing a voice I'd known

A couple of light years ago

Heading straight for a fallAs I remember your eyes

Were bluer than robin's eggs

My poetry was lousy you said

Where are you calling from?

A booth in the midwestTen years ago

I bought you some cufflinks

Oh and you brought me something

We both know what memories can bring

They bring diamonds and rustWell you burst on the scene

Already a legend

The unwashed phenomenon

The original vagabond

You strayed into my armsAnd there you stayed

Temporarily lost at sea

The Madonna was yours for free

Yes the girl on the half-shell

Would keep you unharmedNow I see you standing

With leaves falling around

And snow in your hair

Now you're smiling out the window

Of that hotel

Over Washington Square

Our breath comes out white clouds

Mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly for me

We both could have died then and thereNow you're telling me

You're not nostalgic

Then give me another word for it

You are always so good with words

And at keeping things vagueBecause I need some of that vagueness now

It's all coming back too clearly

Oh I loved you dearly

And if you're offering me diamonds and rust

I've already paidDiamonds and rust(x3)

It wasn't me the guy who talked his head off last night

Can't you see? I'll never fit into your shoe size

Or through that door where you cast your aspirations to the drunken wind

To be abhorred is better than me being just a friendYou don't want to know I was thinking

We could see how for this could go before

I screw it up again

And on my way I forgot to lock that creaky back door

That's in the way of letting in the ocean of your thoughts

You'll find me disappointed because I'm numb within

You wanted more but I just let you out to let you in You don't want to know I was thinking

We could see how far this could go

I'm sorry to waste your precious time

I was thinkin' we could see how for this'd climbBecause you really don't and you really can't see

I've got this problem that revolves around me, me, and me

I'm better away as a web in your mind

Fading on out through the rust and the time.

Bang my head against the wall

Try to find my stride but I trip and I fall

Losing my attention again

Yeah I hit the bottom but I’m on the mend

(I get up!)

Take another step, push it to the edge

(I get up!)

Just a little more, I can see the end

(I get up!)

Yeah you’re finished, yeah you’re mine always win in due time(You think too much!)

It’s in my head

So I’m shaking off the rust and

(You’ve got no trust!)

It’s in my head

So I’m shaking off the rust

I think I broke just a little bit

Walked through the fire made it back again

Lord knows I tried everything I can

Now I’m shakin' off the rustBang my head against the wall

Try to hold a smile but I’m sick of it all

Everyone with something to say

Better hold my tongue or I’ll make a mistake

(I get up!)

Show ‘em what I do, Show ‘em how it’s done

(I get up!)

Never turn it down, never gonna run

(I’ve learned)(You think too much!)

It’s in my head

So I’m shaking off the rust and

(You’ve got no trust!)

It’s in my head

So I’m shaking off the rust

I think I broke just a little bit

Walked through the fire made it back againLord knows I tried everything I can

Now I’m shakin' off the rust

You think too much!

It’s in my head

So I’m shaking off the rust and

You’ve got no trust!

It’s in my head

So I’m shaking off the rust

I think I broke just a little bit

Walked through the fire made it back again

Lord knows I’ve tried everything I can

Now I’m shakin' off the rust

Yeah I’m shakin' off the rust!

[Pre-Chorus]

You got no trust, it's in my head

Now, I'm shaking off the rust

I think I broke just a little bit

Walked through the fire, made it back again

Lord knows I tried everything I can

And I'm shaking off the rust

Yeah, I'm shaking off the rust

The hole we filled with the world we built

And you know damn well it won't save us

So hold it till the world stands still

But you know damn well it won't save usWe nailed it shut

A world to rot

And we beg from the bones of the soil to scream back

"No, you can't save us!"

"It won't be us!"

It repeats it again like you breathe old rust

Be the weight to the rope

Be the wolf to the lamb

But it won't do a good goddamn

You can't save usThe road lay long

We were too far gone

Did we burnt that bridge?

Am I just sleeping?

Still breathing

Carry gold to dust

It repeats it again like you breathe old rust

Be the change, be the hope

Be the mind to the man

Be the world to the flame

But it won't do a good goddamn this waitingI will face it with my arms open

I feel these eyes on me

Drink in this sweet

Surrender (comfort me)

I feed this desperate hunger

I swallow all I'd hoped for

So fuck your prayer for rain

Pray for rustIt won't save usI feel these hands on me

Welcome this weight

Surrender (comfort me)

I am your rope

Your burden

The windowless room

The water

So fuck your prayer for rain

Pray for rustDam this waiting(I will face it with my arms open)

I feel these eyes on me

Drink in this sweet

Surrender (comfort me)

I feed this desperate hunger

I swallow all I'd hoped for

So fuck your prayer for rain

I feel these hands on me

Welcome this weight

Surrender (comfort me)

I am your rope

Your burden

The windowless room

The water

So fuck your prayer for rain

Pray for rust

Lost inside yet I found what brought me here

Deep where despair has its home

Breathless child with the scars prevent to growSweet denial I caressDislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn

You bring me rain, the rust in veins

Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn

You bring me hate, the state I'm inBuilt these walls to gain secrecy from inside

The bliss engraved to my eyes

Beared this load to find pieces of my soulYet sweet denial I caress

And all the mercy drains away tonight

All the mercy drains while I sigh...Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn

You bring me rain, the rust in veins

Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn

You bring me hate, the state I'm inDislike myself, so now I know

You bring me hate, the state I'm in

I found

A new face

A new image staring back at me

Let the Cool

Goddess Rust Away

Let the Cool

Goddess Rust Away

You so different

In a different way

But what goes up has so far down to fall

So go salvage

Some of that human dignity

It'll be a long

Hard

Road
