Rust Veins

Cold air in the frame,

I move through the blur Same four notes turn,

and they pull me under

Loose wire heart with a rusted glow I keep my head down

where the hard winds go Wood and steel mark time in the

dark Small sparks falling off a familiar mark I know this shape

though I can't say why It stays in my hands like a

half-lit sign

Hold on to the line again That old shape comes back in

waves I know it by the way it bends Far away but

it still stays Hold on to the line again Through the weight

and through the grey I know it by the way it bends

Far away but it still stays Late train hum in the back

of my chest Every turn of the wheel says less and less

Bent chrome sky over empty lanes I trace one tune through the

window stains

Hands on the edge of a worn-out sound It lifts then breaks

then settles down If I let it fade it returns somehow A

name with no face on it now (ooh)

Stay in the drift

(ahh) Don't let

it slip Hold on to the line again That old shape comes

back in waves I know it by the way it bends Far

away but it still stays Hold on to the line again Through

the weight and through the grey I know it by the way

it bends Far away but it still stays

Still stays Still stays

I know it by

the way it bends Far away but it

still

stays
