The Ruins

If it were a dream I’d let it have me, even if it ended badly

If it left me unhappy, I’d do it all again gladly

When we were younger she would ask me

How people become so nasty

When they all start out so softly

Just how much life can really cost me?

Count the hours since you left home

Counted all night, all night, all night

World’s crying on the telephone

Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"

I count the hours and the seconds too

I stayed up all night, all night, all night

When the floor hit the telephone

You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"

Yeah

What is really truly caring? It’s a blurry line

All the people staring is what I had always in mind

I should want more than this

But, oh, there’s a sickness in my flesh

See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins

See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins

See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins

See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins

Been this feeling in me my whole damn life

You put your hand under my chin say, "You gon’ be fine

If you end up breaking on down, just do it all online

I’ll watch you fall away like it was no fault of mine"

Count the hours since you left home

Counted all night, all night, all night

World’s crying on the telephone

Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"

I hear a dog barking, energy

Man, it’s so wild, so wild, so wild

When the floor hit the telephone

You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"

If the world wasn't crazy

And no one was broken in the ruins

If we couldn’t hear the people gasping

Couldn’t see the people trapped there

It’s not about interpretation, just the present situation

I’m amazed we have the patience

I can’t believe you had the patience

I was with a boy when he went crazy

Took the car we driving in and crashed it

No one understand what happens

Until you see that shit happen

If it were a drug, I’d let it take me

And course through my veins and use my body

Makin' me feel like I am nothing

Makin' me feel like I am nothing

Count the hours since you left home

Counted all night, all night, all night

World’s crying on the telephone

Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"

I hear a dog barking, energy

Man, it’s so wild, so wild, so wild

When the floor hit the telephone

You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"

Count the hours since you left home

Counted all night, all night, all night

World’s crying on the telephone

Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"

I hear a dog barking, energy

Man, it’s so wild, so wild, so wild

When the floor hit the telephone

You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"
