Lyrics Rust - Uncle Bard & the Dirty Bastards

I wish I had a thousand ships of paper
To reach my doubts and thoughts
I would have attacked them from the North
Because the South is too close to the heart

When I felt a taste of rust at the bottom of the tongue
'Twas like a little shock deep in the ground

I tried to cover the taste with foods and liquors
But nothing satisfied me like before
I could not hide or wash away
Something I was not able to discern

I was surprised that rust, reaching my lungs,
Made me feel so numb but in need of a restart

So I escaped in open water to forget the routes
And try to know the ocean,
To give it my devotion

When I began to ignore my habits
They no longer had the last word.
I came back cheerful, I came back peaceful,
Forgetting what I was looking for
'Cause If the brick doesn't want to be a wall,
Leave it upon the earth
It will become home for other species
And it will get what it deserves

So I felt to be a part of nothing, all and both
That secret was in the world
But it was born over my tongue

So I escaped in open water to forget the routes
And try to know the ocean
To give it my devotion
