Rustage
ABSTRACT (THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS)
[Verse 1: Rustage]
Scrambled and wordless. Fate rearranged
By the hand of the circus. Man that they worship
Act like it’s perfect but pain will be coloured
By paint that they have on the surface
It’s not a game you can challenge in earnest
The set falls away and the camera is whirring
Lines on a page but the chapter is burning
Keep changing direction but see that I haven’t been turning
Only got 5 letters but I've taken a vowel
Try better, it won’t change the amount
Nice wеather and there's rain in thе clouds
But the water don’t come 'cause the paper ran out
I don’t control all the words that I say with my mouth
Started with hope, but then laboured in doubt
Destined to float but then stayed on the ground
'Cause they sent us a saint but then Made him a clown
I cannot flee the machine
Singing their song and repeating the theme
Singing their song and repeating the theme
Singing their song but not keeping the beat
I’m not keeping the rhythm. There’s freedom in dreams
I’m not the person they see me to be
I’ll be the melody, playing my discordant tones
On the music they teach us the preach
[PreChorus: AnoraVT]
Crumpled white pages
Blanks between the spaces
Time nothing but wasted
...
In and out like phases
Mind nothing but vacant
Losing all my patience
...

[Chorus: AnoraVT]
Dreamlike
Can’t hide
Feeling like I’m trapped
In my own mind
Blurred lines
Don a new mask
Rather stay
Lost in the abstract

[Verse 2: Rustage]
Lost in the abstract. Rot in the back
Watch em stop and collapse as they drop in the black mass
Honestly mad, man. Off of the track
They forgotten the past. Just a comedy gang act
What do you do when the jokes start to laugh back?
There ain’t no bass in my backtrack
Stuck in a maze, ain’t no place on no SATNAV
Hit after hit 'til I bust like it’s Blackjack
Too many doors don’t open
Say that it’s deep but they can’t leave the ocean
Changing the speed but repeating the motions
Took all our words, so we speak with emotions
Leaves staying green though the season is frozen
Keeping us trapped like we're creatures and rodents
Seizing the moment is needlessly coping
They glue me together, but can’t see the pieces are broken
Every patch and stitch were branded with’s a label
The narrative they have us in’s unstable
There's asterisks on happiness and angels
The damages are laid upon the table
Don’t stop the pain, just manage its portrayal
Locked away in labyrinths and cradles
Not a game, just mannequins and fables
So turn it up but redirect the cables
[Chorus: AnoraVT]
Dreamlike
Can’t hide
Feeling like I’m trapped
In my own mind
Blurred lines
Don a new mask
Rather stay
Lost in the abstract

[Bridge: Rustage]
Lost in the void
I can’t remember the feeling of joy
I’m not a person, I’m more like a toy
I fell off the path and succumbed to illusions of choice
Can’t hear my screaming throughout all of the noise
All of my dreams are left bare to exploit
Assembled a lie and then mended the joints
'Cause there ain’t nobody still hearing my voice

[PreChorus: AnoraVT]
Crumpled white pages
...
...
...
In and out like phases
Mind nothing but vacant
Losing all my patience
...
[Chorus]
Dreamlike
Can’t hide
Feeling like I’m trapped
In my own mind
Blurred lines
Don a new mask
Rather stay
Lost in the abstract

[Post-Chorus: AnoraVT & Rustage]
Lost in the void
I can’t remember the feeling of joy
I’m not a person, I’m more like a toy
I fell off the path and succumbed to illusions of choice
Can’t hear my screaming throughout all of the noise
All of my dreams are left bare to exploit
Assembled a lie and then mended the joints
Cause there ain’t nobody still hearing my voice
