Rusted From the Rain
Billy Talent Lyrics
I stumble through the wreckage, rusted from the rain
There's nothing left to salvage, no one left to blame
Among the broken mirrors, I don't look the same
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain
Dissect me 'til my blood runs down into the drain
My bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins
I'm nothing but a tin man, don't feel any pain
I don't feel any pain, I don't feel any pain
I'm rusted from the rain
Go on, crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power, beat me with your chains
And if I'm the king of cowards, you're the queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain
You hung me like a picture, now I'm just a frame
I used to be a lap dog, now I'm just a stray
Shackled in the graveyard, left here to decay
Left here to decay, left here to decay
I'm rusted from the rain
Go on, crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power, beat me with your chains
And if I'm the king of cowards, you're the queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain
I'm rusted from the rain
Go
Go on, crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power, beat me with your chains
And if I'm the king of cowards, you're the queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain
Go on, crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power, beat me with your chains
And if I'm the king of cowards, you're the queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain
Oh, the sun will shine again
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain
Oh, the sun will shine again
I'm rusted from the rain

Billy Talent - Rusted From The Rain
[Intro]
I stumble through the wreckage, rusted from the rain
There’s nothing left to salvage, no one left to blame
Among the broken mirrors I don’t look the same
I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain
[Verse 1]
Dissect me ’til my blood runs down into the drain
My bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins
I’m nothing but a tin man, don’t feel any pain
I don’t feel any pain, I don’t feel any pain
I’m rusted from the rain
[Chorus]
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power
Beat me with your chains
And if I’m the King of cowards
You’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
[Verse 2]
You hung me like a picture, now I’m just a frame
I used to be a lap dog, now I’m just a stray
Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay
Left here to decay, left here to decay
I’m rusted from the rain
[Chorus]
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power
Beat me with your chains
And if I’m the King of cowards
You’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
[Chorus]
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power
Beat me with your chains
And if I’m the King of cowards
You’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my power
Beat me with your chains
And if I’m the King of cowards
You’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
[Outro]
Oh, the sun will shine again
I’m rusted from the rain
I’m rusted from the rain
Oh, the sun will shine again
I’m rusted from the rain
Tasi N.

I stumble through the wreckage, rusted from the rain

And if I'm the King of cowards, you're the Queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain

This band should really be a lot bigger, there a lot better then some of the rock bands hitting up in the top 10
Josh Burns
@Robin Kruger it’s still a hell of a lot better than most modern music, let alone the fact that most modern music isn’t even music.
Some Guy
@Robin Kruger everyone should love it modern pop and Rap is Dog shit and awful this is amazing and talented. They play instruments and write there own music no modern raper or pop star will do that because they are just a picture and there record producer owns all "music" and writes and does everything for them they just have to sing
Travis T
Agreed! I love Billy Talent been one of my favorite bands since early 2010's
