SIMONE SIMONS & ARJEN LUCASSEN comment:
“The video was filmed in just one take to keep it as pure and raw as possible. We opted to keep it in black and white so as not to distract from the song or the performance.
In Love We Rust is quite different from our first single Aeterna, which shows how diverse this album is. This is one of our favourite songs. We hope you love this as much as we do.”

LYRICS :
Hold my heart, it’s turning cold
Steady me if I lose control
I’m torn between the now and then
Oh I never thought this love would end

Promises we soon forget
Angry words we still regret
Every day is a brand new war
But I couldn’t say what we’re fighting for

In love we rust, we turn to dust
In love we lie, we don’t ask why
In love we rust, illusions crushed
In love we hide, in love we die

Memories so bittersweet
Souls entwined, yet incomplete
Holding on to a love outgrown
Oh it hurts too much to let it go

Building walls with words unsaid
Hiding from the truth we dread
We once believed we had it all
Now there’s nothing left but for us to fall

I’m turning cold, I lose control
We’ll soon forget, but still regret
We once believed we had it all
There’s nothing left, we’re bound to fall
