Rust

(Christopher Van Name)

It’s human nature to cling to life until our last breath. We watch our loved ones grow old and outlive their friends and loved ones. They become isolated and lonely. You stay too long, you turn to rust.

The sun comes up
The sun goes down 
Another day
Another round 
You lie and wait
For it all to end
You pray it breaks
Before it bends 

You try to live
The way you should 
You do your best
And hope it’s good enough 
We count the days
And mark our time
The good old days
Are hard to find

And when we’re gone
The wind still blows
The river runs
And so it goes 
They say we all 
Return to dust
You stay to long
You turn to rust 

The sun comes up
The sun goes down 
The world keeps spinning 
‘Round and ‘round
We count the days 
And mark our time
And hope we find
Some piece of mind

And when we’re gone
The wind still blows
The river runs
And so it goes
They say we all 
Return to dust
You stay too long
You turn to rust
You stay too long
You turn to rust 

When I was young 
I didn’t know 
How hard it is
To just let go

And so it goes
And so it goes…
