The Iron Taste II

Verse 1

Silver

Sliding down the cold drain

I swallowed heavy lead

Thinking

Waiting

Buried under the thick carpet

Dead

Quietly fading

Chorus

I was good until I wasn't

I was good until I wasn't

Gravity pulled my teeth out

Now I'm empty

Now I'm empty

Now I'm empty

Verse 2

Rust

Clinging to the hinges

Old

Iron

Tasting the copper wire

Spit it out

I was the one they wanted

I was the one they liked

Then the glass cracked

I didn't mean to break

But I broke

Slowly

Chorus

I was good until I wasn't

I was good until I wasn't

Gravity pulled my teeth out

Now I'm empty

Now I'm empty

Now I'm empty

Bridge

The oil

The black oil

The thick oil

Spreading across the floor

Don't look

Don't look

Don't look at what I became

Clean hands turned to soot

Straight lines started to bend

I lost the rhythm

I lost the shape

Chorus

I was good until I wasn't

I was good until I wasn't

Gravity pulled my teeth out

Now I'm empty

Now I'm empty

Now I'm empty

Outro

Just a stain

Just a shadow

Just a memory

Until I wasn't

Until I wasn't

Until I wasn't

(Nothing left)

(Nothing left)

Post-Outro

Pull the plug

Let the water rise

Over the eyes

Over the lies

Deep

Down

Cold

Below the surface

Where I belong

Where I am gone

(Gone)

(Gone)

(Gone)

End
