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
