A Diversionary Tactic

I haven't gotten around to much in the way of updates here in a while, and I don't have time at the present moment, but looking ahead to my solo acoustic show tomorrow I thought I'd provide lyrics for future AH&S song "Rust." I've played this number at my last few acoustic shows and a few people have asked for the lyrics, so here goes:

RUST

Keep your eyes on the dust
Flaking off of the dust
Flee to high ground if you must
Wait to be released by

Cool waters rushing
Washing away the detritus
Of fallen machines
A wrong-headed dream
Of a metal savior

All returns to the ground
Biodegrading compounds
Things we thought we'd lost are found
Memories revealed by

Cool waters rushing
Washing away the detritus
Of fallen machines
A wrong-headed dream
Of a metal savior

[bridge]

In the quiet of the rain
I can hardly contain
Will to wash away the stain
Smiling joyfully while

Cool waters rush in
Washing away the detritus
Of fallen machines
A wrong-headed dream
Of a metal savior
