Ruins Songtext
von Ryanhood

Beyond the field
Behind the branches
Across the broken glass and bones
And past the last of growing things I see
A history I never wanted to know

The light upon the hill
Was left to dust
No rain to calm the blame
Or damage done

Between the rusted out reminders
Of people broke beneath the dream
Through streets, we make our way
Into the heart, the darkest part
We never wanted to see

We found the houses
Filled with brilliant things
And haunted by
The emptiness they bring


Windows
Covered up with mirrors
And daylight
Covered up with screens
Where space was
Never made to stop and rest
We lost our breath
Beneath the leaves

Where fear was
Hid away in basements
And fear was
In the dirt below
Where fear was never faced
And never followed back
Foundations cracked
Beneath the stones

The writing in the ruins
Of the earth
Read, "All who have been last
Will be the first"


So now
Repair the thing that′s broke down
And somehow
Become who we could be
We need to go down
Deeper than we know how
Below ground
The river underneath

So now
Repair the thing that's broke down
And somehow
Become who we could be
We need to go down
Turn around and give it back
In dust and ash
Become the spring
