Ruin

Held in time
Through the fractures
Of a ruined mind
Can I still
See the light
When these blades are buried deep inside?

Haunted still
By all the things I thought the world had killed
Now I know
Hope is just
A dead star glowing underneath the dust

There's no place for
Compassion or pride
When will I find what I yearn for?
A saviour from despair

Please make it stop
Push your hands in and tear out the rot
The wounds so deep
I am made of skin
Overthrown, you press the dagger in

There's no place for
Compassion or pride
When will I find what I yearn for?
A saviour from despair

I've seen myself broken
Seen myself defeated
Watching the world pass me by
I feel cheated
Seen myself broken down
And defeated
Cursed with what I want
I've seen myself broken
Seen myself defeated
Watching the world pass me by
I feel cheated
When will my heart find
All that is needed?
Crushed into the core?

It's inevitable
I can't - escape the
Feeling that I was

Here - - before
It's another
Nail in the coffin
Sever my ties and

I - - am -
Covered in red the
Swords - - in the
Back of your neck at

Least - the sun will
Rise - - this day
One day will be -
Be far behind me
