The Rust

[Verse 1]
Twenty hours he is gone
Another time she's waiting for him
When he comes home
He's in terrible state
He's just sitting there by the window
With his hate

[Pre-Chorus]
A rusty bathtub in the garden
Seven cars are in the yard
And only one of them is running
Life is [???] in the wilderness
But in his heart

[Chorus 1]
It's not a place for new beginnings
Everything you make just falls apart
Sometimes she thinks
It's the rust that eats the soul
In the winter time the sky is burning
Purple orange and gold

[Verse 2]
So one a night like any other
She takes her bags out to the car
She pauses a minute
Than she starts down the road
You can get anywhere
On the full tank of fuel
And on an empty heart

[Chorus 2]
It's not a place for new beginnings
Everything you make just falls apart
The house neglected and forbidden
I want a giant 'neath the stars

[Post-Chorus]
[???]
Just thinking about it breaks your heart
One day the paint falls from the ceiling
It's hard to tell just when it starts
A slow decay and the rust that eats the soul
The winter sky burns eternally
But people come and people go
