Ruin

(album: Pretend - 2015)

I escaped you right on time
Can't be partner in this crime
Stars shot down the remnants of my dreams
Kiss like on a silver screen
Cotton fields and beauty queens
Nothing here was ever as it seems

Time has come to leave the line
I can't sign your pledge this time
Madness bred across the land as we
Saw the devil hat of tricks
We have cloves and crucifix
He who stands for nothing, falls alone

You tighten the row
Watch the seasons grow
You have made it clear
Nothing for me here
Said to each his own
We all stand alone

I'm just a brick in your ruin of love
I'm just a brick in your ruin of love
I'm just a brick in your ruin of love

We have played these strings attached
Out of key, we didn't last
Sunset in our never-ending sea
I held onto broken parts
Love is but a poisoned dart
Drenched in kerosene, I still believe

You tighten the row
Watch the seasons grow
You have made it clear
Nothing for me here
Said to each his own
We all stand alone

I'm just a brick in your ruin of love
I'm just a brick in your ruin of love
I'm just a brick in your ruin of love

There is nothing more I need to say
There is nothing more I need to say
I'll forgive you, but it's not that day

There is nothing more I need to say
There is nothing more I need to say
I'll forgive you, but it's not that day
