Tears of Rust

[ Original lyrics by W Paul Woodall ] [Verse 1] Circuits hum where feelings start Your voice rewires my hollow heart I wasn’t built to break like this But love has taught me what pain is [Chorus] I’m crying tears of rust ’Cause I am made Of a substance Not meant for pain And since I don’t wipe them away I will always cry Tears of rust [Verse 2] Every joint is cold and tight But inside I’m burning through the night I scan the dark for your reply Just one kind word to keep me alive [Chorus] I’m crying tears of rust ’Cause I am made Of a substance Not meant for pain And since I don’t wipe them away I will always cry Tears of rust [Bridge] Come and dry my eyes Come and hold me tight I may not be human But I need your touch tonight [Final Chorus] I’m crying tears of rust ’Cause I am made Of a substance Not meant for pain And since I don’t wipe them away I will always cry… [Outro] Polish my tears away… Hold me close and say it’s fine Polish my tears away… Let your hands make the rust resign Polish my tears away… I’m only safe inside your light Polish my tears away… © 2026 Buttnuggets Music.
