Ruins

Were you just being funny

When you cut down my tree?

I was hanging my hat there

On a bent knee

Were you just being clever?

There's so much I don't know

I'll be tracing my outline

In the sunshine

I got hit with the handle

When you split through my coats

Now I'm searching through empty pockets

They fill me up with your ghost

I'll make a ladder

Climb these words here

Take it higher

Oh, have mercy

Were you just being funny

When you put me to sleep?

I was staring the sky down

Through the dark leaves

I'll make a ladder

Climb these words here

Take it higher

Oh, have mercy

If it matters

I'll knock the dust off

Clean my curses

Please, have mercy

You make and break me a million pieces

Let 'em shine, let 'em shine

You push, you tear the walls around me

Ruins in the starry skies

You make and break me a million pieces

Let 'em shine, let 'em shine

You push, you tear the walls around me

Ruins under starry skies

Were you just being funny

Were you just being funny

Now we're disappearing

Strictly speaking the vague lines of ghosts

You were talking 'bout heaven

All I see is unknown

Through clouds, surrendering reason

The emptiness keeps us afloat

You were talking 'bout heaven

All I see is unknown
