about

Tin doesn't actually rust. Well, it does rust, just very very slowly. I learned that while writing this song.

lyrics

Looking for a way to get out of here
And you're so afraid that you'll just disappear
And the water's getting higher
Everybody knows what you've been through
'Cause you won't shut up when they stand next to you
But at least you're not a liar

You've rusted over the years
As if your heart were made of tin
And someone's calling you up
From down beneath the floor again

And it's time time time
You've lost your mind mind mind
And you can't find find find
A way to run on empty

If you only could, you'd do it all
And the faster you go, the harder you hit the wall
It's another way of turning
Nobody can say you didn't try
And you learned to walk, so maybe you'll learn to fly
If you keep the fire burning

You're crushed beneath their shoes
As if your heart were made of tin
And you keep playing, but you must know
The house will always win
