Lyrics Rusted - Blistered

Rusted

I’ll wipe my mind of the memories
I will destroy your legacy
Page by page cast into the raging fires of contempt
I await the day when your flesh and earth become one
And I will be there, vindicated
With eyes shut tight, as a hero you are venerated
Standing upon this pedestal built on our backs
I never saw the real you
I never saw your flaws
I never saw the rust and rot behind your thin veneer
Lightning strikes and sets fire to your facade
Your porcelain beauty cracks and breaks
Your vanity bears weight no longer
I cast you down
Your power is denied
Your soul is rusted
Your guts are rotten
I weep for the time I wasted
Believing you were a hero
Hours, days, weeks, and months
Pissed away
I tear down statues in your image
I crush them now beneath my feet
