BUT RUSTING

BUT RUSTING

Raising and busting,
Standing but rusting
The clock is still running
And it’s counting on down

Once so unsure
A disease with a clear cure
Heavy breaths hit as hard
As a rifle round

So far away from fresh
All the truth and regret
Hoping maybe this time
I’ll get it right

Stay always on my guard
Talk s–t and then pull that card
Push it all down once more
At the end, but not quite
