"Spirit Corrosion" lyrics

Steady, strong and permanent
Impulse to move on
A vision — straight
A dignity
A passion for each goal

It got pounded, beaten, heated
Abused with intent
Mistreated just
To make it rust
To see the passion die

Someone tries to burn and melt it

And all at once
From inside out
It starts to rust
Spirit corrodes
So vulnerable
Unsightly
From inside out
Spirit corrodes

Everything falls apart
As he began to put himself last in line
The decay of his fortitude
These words with one cause
To debilitate
And to disturb
To make it oxidize
Psyche deterioration

And all at once
From inside out
It starts to rust
Spirit corrodes
So vulnerable
Unsightly
From inside out
Spirit corrodes

He prepares to feel
Nothing at all
His soul so cavernous — each hole
Too huge to overlook

And all at once
From inside out
It starts to rust
Spirit corrodes
So vulnerable
Unsightly
From inside out
Spirit corrodes

Everything crumbles to dust
As he lost his worried mind to agony
