Rust Cleansing - Madder Mortem

Silence has already spoken

They have all failed to hold their chairs

Shame left its print on their faces

Muted and perfectly there

And so am I Rust, cleansing in harm

Echoes of laughter and beauty

Cleverly disguised and still and cold

In every eye silver mirrors (without compassion)

Plasterlike face ignores the call

And so will I Rust, cleansing in harm

The unforgiving mask that drives the lesson home

The fear that ties us down and leaves us all alone

We are all alone

Screaming beneath placid gazes

No one is there to break the fall

Spineless and amazed we greet the metaphor

that leaves us as beggars at the door

And so we tie

Rust, cleansing in harm

The bond that ties us holds

Hate the price we pay
