[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Gritty Guitar Scrapes, Slow Metallic Clanks, Low Bass Drone, Wind FX]
\n[Minimal Beat, Sparse Kick, Spoken Vocal]
\nLeft exposed\u2026
\n(Prone to doze)
\nLeft alone\u2026
\n(Away from home)
\nIt begins\u2026
\n(Seeping in)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\n[Groove Enters, Dark Bassline, Muted Guitar, Steady Snare]
\nMoisture in the air you breathe
\nTiny cracks you can\u2019t perceive
\nSurface strong but underneath
\nTime is working past belief
\nLayer by layer it takes hold
\nTurning strength to something old
\nWhat was shining starts to fade
\nQuiet damage slowly made<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Instrumentation Pulls Back, Tense Bass Pulse, Rising Noise Sweep]
\nIgnore the signs, pretend it\u2019s fine
\nBut time corrodes the strongest line<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\n[Full Impact, Heavy Drums, Distorted Guitar, Driving Rhythm]
\nDon\u2019t let rust
\n(Start your decay)
\nThe greed n\u2019 lust
\n(Will ruin your day)
\nDon\u2019t let rust
\n(Eat you away)
\nThe slow distrust
\n(Will lead you astray)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\n[Groove Loosens, Chant-Style Vocals, Percussive Clatter]
\nIt never sleeps
\n(Into your life it creeps)
\nIt starts when you neglect
\n(To inspect retrospect)
\nAshes to ashes
\n(Dust to dust)
\nSparks and flashes
\n(Into rust)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\n[Rhythm Tightens, Industrial Percussion, Low Synth Texture]
\nOxidation in the core
\nWhat you had is not before
\nEvery weakness amplified
\nWhen you let the truth just slide
\nNot just metal, not just steel
\nIt\u2019s in choices that you feel
\nWhat you leave begins to break
\nEvery promise left to flake<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Half-Time Feel, Deep Bass, Echoed Vocals]
\nA little slip, a little stain
\nBecomes a cycle of the same<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\n[Stronger Dynamics, Layered Vocals, Driving Bassline]
\nDon\u2019t let rust
\n(Start your decay)
\nThe greed n\u2019 lust
\n(Will ruin your day)
\nDon\u2019t let rust
\n(Creep in and stay)
\nThe slow distrust
\n(Will eat you away)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\n[Expanded Chant, Metallic Percussion, Group Vocals]
\nIt never sleeps
\n(Into your life it creeps)
\nIt starts when you neglect
\n(To inspect retrospect)
\nAshes to ashes
\n(Dust to dust)
\nSparks and flashes
\n(Into rust)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n[Breakdown: Ambient Drones, Light Piano, Distant Metallic Echoes]
\nWhat you polish, what you keep
\n(What you guard or let go deep)
\nEvery moment, every choice
\n(Either strengthens or destroys)
\nMaintenance is more than care
\n(It\u2019s the truth… what can you bear
\nFace it now or face it late
\n(Rust will always find a gate)<\/p>\n
[Build-Up]
\n[Snare Roll Crescendo, Rising Distortion, Increasing Intensity]
\nClean\u2026 it\u2026 now\u2026
\n(Don\u2019t allow\u2026)
\nHold\u2026 your\u2026 ground\u2026
\n(Turn around\u2026)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\n[Maximum Energy, Full Band, Overdriven Guitar, Heavy Drums]
\nDon\u2019t let rust
\n(Start your decay)
\nThe greed n\u2019 lust
\n(Will ruin your day)
\nDon\u2019t let rust
\n(Take it away)
\nStand in trust
\n(Don\u2019t drift away)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\n[Final Chant, Full Percussion, Crowd Feel]
\nIt never sleeps
\n(Into your life it creeps)
\nIt starts when you neglect
\n(To inspect retrospect)
\nAshes to ashes
\n(Dust to dust)
\nSparks and flashes
\n(Into rust)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Fading Guitar Feedback, Slow Metallic Hits, Bass Dissolves]
\n[Spoken Vocal, Fading]
\nWhat you ignore\u2026
\n(Turns to more)
\nWhat you ignore\u2026
\n(Becomes remains\u2026)
\nTime stains<\/p>\n
