corrosion - A-1000

You wear the years like medals But never learned a thing Blaming time for your silence While rust eats through your ring Still talking in old echoes Still stuck in that old town Pretending you're not fading While everything breaks down I gave you light, you stayed in grey You watched the colors drain away So just stay there, keep decaying Same old words, same excuses, same delaying We had our laugh, but now it’s gone No drama, no tears — just move on You’re corrosion in the shape of skin Breaking down, wearing thin Meet your end in slow rewind I won’t be there next time Mirrors never moved you You smiled through the cracks Every truth I threw you You handed right back No fire in your stories No light in your plans Only rusted glories And trembling hands I gave you light, you stayed in grey You watched the colors drain away So just stay there, keep decaying Same old words, same excuses, same delaying We had our laugh, but now it’s gone No drama, no tears — just move on You’re corrosion in the shape of skin Breaking down, wearing thin Meet your end in slow rewind I won’t be there next time
