Slowly Rust - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Do you want to slow down?

But salt on our roads now

Your mouth can't decide

And your eyes can't hide your doubt

Do you pace the floorboards

Thinking of the words

That validate this and stop every kiss

From starting

You make my heart stop beating

If you keep on sleeping

Through this hurricane we face

Bleeding dust we both know

We'll slowly rust

Do you feel so jaded?

'Cause your skin looks faded

You drive with no plan

Into the distance

For space

Are those tears theatric

Or are you just lovesick?

Your signals are blurred

And none of my words mean something

I don't want to spill what I'm thinking

I don't want to paint what I see

I don't want to voice all these feelings

But I don't want your body to leave

You make my heart stop beating

If you keep on sleeping

Through this hurricane we face

Bleeding dust we both know

We'll slowly rust

This back up generator feels

The wind has faded from our sills

You held a knife to the rope that kept our bodies in this boat

Suitcases swallow your clothes up

I make new plans to find true love

This house is quiet but my heart beats so loudly in the dark
