Rustic Overtones Lyrics - Iron Boots:
Are your thoughts breaking?
Are your thoughts crushing?
Are they naked, are they aching to be pushing?
Do you feel to clean?
I feel that too much
And the hunch I didn't play beckons my way like a crutch
-chorus-
Iron boots, aluminum wings,
I just can't stop turning into things
And I'm all smashed up
Honey...today I hit the ground, and found
These wings made of tin will just cave in
And iron boots just keep me down
Are your thoughts in silence or are your thoughts in sirens?
Is it steel rubbing to steel or iron to iron?
Do you think like me?
Does trouble just come up?
What is the sickness that growls like machines in your gut?
-chorus-
Iron boots, aluminum wings,
I just can't stop turning into things
And I'm all smashed up
Honey...today I hit the ground, and found
These wings made of tin will just cave in
And iron boots just keep me down
Tripping me up again iron boots and matching straight jacket suits
And I fall down again on my chin
Fuel spilling out, fuel still rushing in is how it begins
It's a miracle I can still stand up
pulling me down with your gravity
Sadder than tragedy's sound
I still get around
I still get up with iron boots on the ground
It's in times of riot not times of quiet
It's where I hide it; inside it
It's the distortion, give me distortion to clear it all away
