RUST

Stark, hypnotic and relentless — RUST is the sound of decay set to a beat you can't shake.

LINER NOTES

RUST is about the slow stuff — the way people, places and promises corrode when nobody is looking. We wanted it to feel hypnotic and a little sick, like staring down a red hallway that will not end.

The riff loops on purpose. The ravens on the cover were our idea of a warning sign. Underneath the noise it is a simple question: what are you letting rot just to keep the peace?

Everything rusts. We just made it loud.

LYRICS

Original lyrics — same in every language.
The tears that were shed on this place Stain these walls and every day I choke in the agony of when I Think about giving up You imprisoned me in this rusty cell Nowhere to run, I've got nowhere to run You've got sweet words that you know how to tell Nowhere to run, I've got nowhere to run I can't escape so I followed my fate That was already bound to me A living hell, a penitence That was already bound to me, to me You imprisoned me in this rusty cell Nowhere to run, I've got nowhere to run You've got sweet words that you know how to tell Nowhere to run, I've got nowhere to run I think I'm losing my mind I think I'm losing my mind I think I'm losing my mind I think I'm losing my mind I think I'm losing my mind I think I'm losing my mind I think I'm losing my mind I think I'm losing my mind
