Pagan Honey Productions - Rage Against the Rust Lyrics

The knees give out with every stair,
The hands shake when they comb their hair.
Once strong as oak, now brittle as dust,
Living with bones that refuse to trust.

Each morning's a war just getting out of bed,
Every ache's a whisper of things left unsaid.
The clock keeps ticking, wearing me thin,
Losing battles I never signed up to begin.

It's a fight with no winner, a war with no sound,
Swinging at ghosts, no enemy found.
A heart full of fire, but a body of rust,
Burning with rage, but no place to thrust.

They say, "You've had your time, be still,"
But the anger comes like it always will.
There's no villain, no thief to chase,
Just time stealing things I can't replace.

Doctors shrug and shake their heads,
"Here's a pill for the pain," is all they've said.
But pills don't fix what's buried deep-
A restless rage that won't let me sleep.

It's a fight with no winner, a war with no sound,
Swinging at ghosts, no enemy found.
A heart full of fire, but a body of rust,
Burning with rage, but no place to thrust.

The world keeps spinning, faster each day,
And I'm stuck in the same old way.
Once I could run, now I shuffle slow,
Left behind by things I'll never know.

They smile and say, "You've lived long enough,"
But those smiles don't know when the going gets tough.
The pain runs deep, and the anger's real,
When the battle's inside and no one can feel.

It's fists in the air at a world that's gone,
Angry at time for dragging me along.
No medals, no trophies, no finish line,
Just endless days of staying in line.

It's a fight with no winner, a war with no sound,
Swinging at ghosts, no enemy found.
A heart full of fire, but a body of rust,
Burning with rage, but no place to thrust.

So I scream at the night, I curse at the sky,
The fire burns bright, though the body's dry.
And when there's no one left to take the blame,
I rage at the silence-just the same.
