[Verse 1]

I lie awake on a long, dark night

I can't seem to tame my mind

Slings and arrows are killing me inside

Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine, no

Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine


[Verse 2]

Simple living is my desperate cry

Been trading love with indifference

And yeah, it suits me just fine

I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone

Maybe that's why I feel alone, yeah

Maybe that's why I feel so alone


[Chorus]

'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal

I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal


[Post-Chorus]

No, it just won't heal, no, no, no


[Verse 3]

The sun shines and I can't avoid the light

I think I'm holding on to life too tight

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Sometimes I feel like giving up, yeah

I said, sometimes I feel like giving up


[Chorus]

'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holdin' together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal

I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal


[Post-Chorus]

It just won't heal, no


[Bridge]

The day reminds me of you

The night hides your truth

The earth is a voice

Speaking to you

Take all this pride

And leave it behind

'Cause one day it ends

One day we die

Believe what you will

That is your right

But I choose to win

I choose to fight

To fight


[Chorus/Outro]

'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal

I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't...

Covered with skin that peels

And it just won't...

Covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal
