lyrics

Steal in close we chase the sun
Due east at dawn, boiler on the run
The world says leave, I'll fight to stay
River red at dawn, you drift my way

As we're turning them to rust
Your hands upon my skin
Turning them to rust, above the clouds
Turning them to rust, your sweat falls on my brow
Turning them to rust
The pressure joins, the pressure joins us

Silent passage in the dead of night
A simple past of wrong and right
Nighttime fails cut by the ray
Torn apart again, by the break of day
As we're turning them to rust, your hands upon my skin,
Turning them to rust, above the clouds
Turning them to rust, your sweat falls on my brown
Turning them to rust
The pressure joins, the pressure joins us

Home for the aftermath
Home with you
Going home for the aftermath
Home with you
