Matt Pond PA - 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 coat

now i'm searching through empty pockets,
they fill me up with your ghost

i'll make a ladder

i'll 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
deep in the dark leaves

i'll make a ladder

i'll climb these words here

to take it higher

oh have mercy

if it matters

i'll knock the dust off
i'll clean my curses

oh have mercy

you make and break me

a million pieces
le'em shine, let 'em shine

you push, you tear the walls down
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 down
ruins under starry skies

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
