Ruiner

YOU DON’T HAVE TO WATCH THE WORLD BURN DOWN

YOU CAN GO BACK ON YOUR WORD

YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO BACK IN TIME

IT’S JUST A DIFFICULT BIRTH

JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE TIRED OF BAIT ON STRING

DON’T MEAN YOU’RE CASHING THIS OUT

BUT YOU’RE IN THE SKY, I’M ON THE GROUND

I’M IN THE COLD AND I’M SINKING

 HOLDING ON UNTIL THIS SEARCH FOR THE LIGHT

 LEADS ME BACK TO THE SURFACE

JUST BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN OUTGUNNED

DON’T MEAN YOUR EYES ARE SEWN SHUT

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SEND A WAR CRY

JUST TO KEEP GETTING YOUR CUT

JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE HUMBLE

WHEN YOU WERE MARKING YOUR PREY

YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEAR THE OUTSIDE

WHEN YOU’VE LOCKED THEM OUT TO KEEP YOURSELF SAFE

YOU’RE SO SAFE

 WHAT HAVE WE EMBRACED AGAIN

 HOW ARE WE SO DRIFTLESS HERE

 WITH ALL OF THESE ROADS THAT RUN THROUGH US

 HOW DID THESE HEARTS GET CRUSHED

YOU DON’T HAVE TO TRUST THE MAN ON THE STREET

JUST WHEN HE BARELY HIT TOWN

YOU MUST HAVE LOST YOUR CONNECTION

BUT IT’S FAIR TO SAY HE’S DRAGGING YOU DOWN

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BURN AN EFFIGY

FOR EVERY PRAYER YOU LET FLY

WERE YOU LEFT AT THE ALTAR

OR WERE YOUR WINGS THE WRONG SIZE

THE WRONG SIZE

 READING BACK THE TRUTH THAT YOU REWRITE

 STRUGGLING TO SEE YOUR PURPOSE

 HOLDING ON UNTIL THE SEARCH FOR THE LIGHT

 LEADS ME BACK TO THE SURFACE

 

 WHAT HAVE WE EMBRACED AGAIN

 HOW ARE WE SO DRIFTLESS HERE

 WITH ALL THESE ROADS THAT RUN THROUGH US

 HOW DID THESE HEARTS GET CRUSHED
