Verse 1
I stumble through the wreckage,
rusted from the rain
There's nothing left to salvage,
no one left to blame
Among the broken mirrors,
I don't look the same
I'm rusted from the rain,
I'm rusted from the rain
Verse 2
Dissect me until my blood runs
down into the drain
My bitter heart is pumping
oil into my veins
I'm nothing but a tin man,
don't feel any pain
I don't feel any pain,
I don't feel any pain
I'm rusted from the rain
Chorus 1
Go on crush me like a flower,
rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power,
beat me with your chains
And if I'm the king of cowards,
you're the queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain,
I'm rusted from the rain
[The rest of the song goes with the same chords]
You hung me like a picture, now I'm just a frame
I used to be your lap dog, now I'm just a stray
Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay
Left here to decay, left here to decay
I'm rusted from the rain
Go on crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power, beat me with your chains
And if I'm the king of cowards, you're the queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain
I'm rusted from the rain
Go on crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power, beat me with your chains
And if I'm the king of cowards, you're the queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain
Go on crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power, beat me with your chains
And if I'm the king of cowards, you're the queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain
The sun will shine again, I'm rusted from the rain
I'm rusted from the rain, the sun will shine again
I'm rusted from the rain
End on E
