Rustbone Requiem

[Intro] [Verse 1] Cracked asphalt veins bleed through the dust, A ghost town hums in analog rust. The fiddle screams where the crops all died, Static whispers where the truth’s implied. Peddle steel moans through a fractured hymn, NPC eyes blink, but the light’s grown dim. We’re coded to plow this poisoned field, A pixelated wound that never heals. [Chorus] Rustbone, rustbone, chew the static sky, A distorted dream where the reaper drives by. We’re holograms dancin’ in diesel rain, Guitar strings snap, but the pain remains. [Verse 2] Fuzz bass crawls ‘neath the preacher’s lie, Sunday school tracts feed the rot inside. The screen door slams on a hollow creed, A shotgun wedding to the void we need. Drumbeats pound like a failing heart, A.I. hymns play as the world falls apart. We’re livestock wired to a glitchin’ god, Simulation saints in a sodden fog. [Chorus] Rustbone, rustbone, chew the static sky, A distorted dream where the reaper drives by. We’re holograms dancin’ in diesel rain, Guitar strings snap, but the pain remains. [Bridge] The feedlot angels melt into code, Their halos buzz where the gray roads fold. My shadow’s buffered, my voice on lease, A rendered ghost in the slaughterhouse peace. [Outro]
