Echoes of Rust

[Verse]
Broken strings on an old guitar
Fingers bleed
But they won't get far
The wood creaks
It sighs like me
A hollow sound in an empty sea

[Chorus]
Echoes of rust
Echoes of time
Breaking apart what’s yours and mine
Echoes of rust
A song in the dust
Nothing left here but echoes of us

[Verse 2]
The moon’s a nail in a velvet sky
Piercing through where the shadows lie
I hum the tune of a heart gone cold
The same old chords
The same old fold

[Prechorus]
But the wind
It screams my name
Through the cracks
It plays the game

[Chorus]
Echoes of rust
Echoes of time
Breaking apart what’s yours and mine
Echoes of rust
A song in the dust
Nothing left here but echoes of us

[Bridge]
Ashes on the strings
Fire in the rain
Scratching the surface
Digging up pain
Every strum
Every chord I play
Turns the night into frayed decay
