Ruins (2020 version) Lyrics by Charlie Barnes

last night’s glitter

2020

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you
Any old blade could cut the atmosphere in here
So full up with hate and hopes so
Load up what guns you can lay your hands upon to back up that still sharp tongue
[Refrain]
And don't you dare raise questions like that
[Verse 2]
Even the greats will drop the ball from time to time
And I'll bet it burns you up so
Don't throw your hands up like you're clear of every charge
Your words will come back to haunt you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
If you so adore the company you keep your teeth sunk into
[Chorus]
Just like that, and everything you've worked for goes up in
Smoke so black
And for the love of God or anyone
Don't you darе raise questions like that
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Profiteer you bleed us dry as
Lungs all howlеd out of air
[Chorus]
Just like that, and everything you've worked for goes up in
Smoke so black
And for the love of God or anyone
Hold your tongue or fists before you're left with ruins
[Bridge]
Oh and one last thing
If you could spare a thought for an old friend then
Don't you dare raise questions like that
Carve away and even aged oaks will tumble
[Outro]
Let me tell you
