Ruins Lyrics by Joel Baker

Hush Now My Fears

2022

[Verse 1]
With the boxes all packed, I switched off the light
Moved out my flat and moved out my mind
Don't know where I'm going but I know who calls me mine
It's more than I've ever needed
Spent my twenties tied up in people's advice
And it emptied my bank and filled my head up with lies
I wouldn't change much but less regrets would be nice
But what good is the past to me now?
Yeah, I don't know either
[Chorus]
So keep it moving
[?] When I'm already losing
Therе's no need to be scared of the ruins
If falling apart lеads into your arms, it's all that I want (ooh)
It's all that I want (ooh) it's all that I want (ooh)
If falling apart
[Verse 2]
With the car loaded up, we drove south on the road
Needed some space to open things that I've closed
I've learned that holding on is mostly letting go
I still cling to the things that I keep
Spent my twenties try'na be what I do
Putting myself in the centre was a dizzying view
Sometimes nightmares are needed for the dreams to come true
But if you're asking me
I don't understand it either
[Chorus]
So keep it moving
[?] When I'm already losing
There's no need to be scared of the ruins
If falling apart leads into your arms, it's all that I
[Drop]
(Want, want, want)
It's all that I want, want, want (the ruins)
It's all that I want, want, want (yeah, keep it moving)
It's all that I want, want, want
It's all that I want, want, want (but there's no need to be scared)
It's all that I want, want, want
[Bridge]
Fighting some foreign war, frozen water on all fours
Longing for a lotion of [?] that is fading like a carpet in the sun
What have I won if I've lost my sense of me? My sense of meant to be?
An old friend to me who now seems immature when we meet now
Beat down and swollen
The tremors can still be felt, I'm on fire
I just keep down, and roll it out
I am a city overrun, overtaken, broken windows
A fuel for the landmines (I'm as old as landlines)
But my wounds are so youthful
And when I'm pushed to the floor, it's the child inside me who falls
And I'm so tired of feeling
I've wandered in the dark so many nights
That even in the light, sometimes I close my eyes, a force of habit
All I've carried, falling out the shopping bags
But I know it's in my [?]
Has it been a while?
All these [?] fasten to my sight
Me and God are boats passing in the night
(It's all that I want, want, want)
(It's all that I want, want, want)
But I have come to tell you there is joy in the morning
Peace in despair, courage in the falling, calm in the chaos
[Chorus]
So don't be scared of the ruins
Just keep it moving
If falling apart leads me into your arms
Then it's all that I
[Drop]
(Want, want, want)
It's all that I want, want, want
It's all that I want, want, want
It's all that I want, want, want
It's all that I want, want, want
It's all that I want, want, want...
I have come to tell you there is joy in the morning
Peace in despair, courage in the falling, calm in the chaos
