Bones Turn to Rust

It's been raining for 17 years and I'm drowning in here Jumped from the fire to land in the flood... I am a nervous creature it's just in my nature Born to a body with not enough power in the blood I've been making the same mistakes, and I know where it takes me: Singing with the saints, or swimming in the mud This worry lives long after our bones have turned to rust And this body is treacherous Standing all alone, burning like a vacant home With a face as unfazed as a monolith You're the type to raze the temples to the ground Then sort the coals for a seed to grow a diamond with And if they never see the sun...too bad for the other kids Take their breath away and give them a cigarette kiss You know I tried but I just... I don't keep that room in my heart anymore I don't sleep where serpents crawl on the floor I don't go looking for signs when I should look for a door We knew the risk in what we stoked But still kissed the ashes until we choked, and Craving a heat only sparks evoke Feeding the fire until it turned to smoke We fought the fever til one of us broke
