Ruins
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ruins, ruins, ruins
They were like a glasshouse
So breakable
Stuck inside a mad house
Trapped in the walls
And I loved the voices inside of my mind
Will never be silenced until I can find
A way to let go of what we left behind
Ruins, ruins, ruins
Sometimes love deserves to burn in flames
Sometimes the ending is your best escape
Ruins, ruins, ruins
I gotta hunt on the edge that you want to break
And I know that once there was a way
I won't return to the ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins
I won't return to the ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins
Beauty in the breakdown
I'm not afraid
The love you never gave me
Is slipping away
And I loved the voices inside of my mind
Will never be silenced until I can find
A way to let go of what we left behind
Ruins, ruins, ruins
Sometimes love deserves to burn in flames
Sometimes the ending is your best escape
Ruins, ruins, ruins
I gotta hunt on the edge that you want to break
And I know that once there was a way
I won't return to the ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins
I won't return to the ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins
Ashes for the ashes, and the pain will fade away
Live with honest passion it's the price we had to pay
So light the match and let the fire build into a blaze
Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Sometimes love deserves to burn in flames
(To burn in flames)
Sometimes the ending is your best escape
Ruins, ruins, ruins
I gotta hunt on the edge that you want to break
(To break, to break, to break)
And I know that once there was a way
(Once there was a way)
I won't return to the ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins
I won't return to the ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins
I won't return to the ruins
Ruins, ruins, ruins
I won't return to the ruins
