Rust in My Pocket

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found my name in the sink Under a ring of black Your key still fits the door That says come back, come back The ashtray’s full of rain And your coat’s on the chair I talk to the empty cup Like you might answer there [Pre-Chorus] I keep the matchbook Even though it’s dead I keep the argument Running in my head If I move one box The whole house leans I’m living on the edge Of what this means [Chorus] Rust in my pocket Still cuts my hand Rust in my pocket I don’t understand You left a sharp little scar Right where I stand Rust in my pocket Rust in my pocket [Verse 2] There’s a bootprint on the mat And a crack in the frame Your laugh is in the glass But it won’t say your name I burned the last note In the cracked blue bowl Watched the smoke climb slow Like it knew my soul [Pre-Chorus] I keep the matchbook Even though it’s dead I keep the argument Running in my head If I move one box The whole house leans I’m living on the edge Of what this means [Chorus] Rust in my pocket Still cuts my hand Rust in my pocket I don’t understand You left a sharp little scar Right where I stand Rust in my pocket Rust in my pocket [Bridge] Say it straight Was I just a room? Was I just a stop On the way to your doom? I took your silence Like a bite of steel Now every little thing Feels too real [Final Chorus] Rust in my pocket Still cuts my hand Rust in my pocket I don’t understand You left a sharp little scar Right where I stand Rust in my pocket Rust in my pocket
