[Verse 1]
I lie awake on a long dark night
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
No, maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
Simple living is my desperate cry
Been trading love with indifference
And, yeah, it suits me just fine
I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I feel alone, yeah
Maybe that's why I feel so alone

[Chorus]
Because me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
I am rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
No, it just won't heal, no, no, no

[Verse 2]
The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
I think I'm holding on to life too tight
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Sometimes I feel like giving up, yeah
I said, sometimes I feel like giving up
[Chorus]
Because me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
I am rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
It just won't heal, no

[Verse 3]
The day reminds me of you
The night hides your truth
The earth is a voice
Speaking to you
Take all this pride
And leave it behind
Because one day it ends
One day we die
Believe what you will
That is your right
But I choose to win
I choose to fight, to fight

[Chorus]
Because me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
I am rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
No, it just won't heal, no, no, no

[Outro]
Covered with skin that peels
And it just won't
Covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
