Ruin Lyrics by The Amazing Devil

Ruin

2021

[Verse 1: Madeleine Hyland]
I will bring you ruin
In everything I do
It's never my intention but it happens all the same
It starts with love and comfort
Becomes a strength of will
But all that strength made rubble of those towers we built

[Chorus: Madeleine Hyland]
Because brick by brick you built us
And I'd fill in the cracks
Nothing quite prepares you for
When they don't come back
I wish I'd done things different
I wish that I'd been brave
I wish I'd known these stones were something I could save

[Verse 2: Both, Joey Batey]
Our mortar was your laughter
And you hurled curses at the land
Wе didn't talk. We made universеs
Out of bitten lips and broken hands
And you said "I love you" less
Than when it all began
And I said fewer
'Cause I make jokes to show how broken I really am

[Pre-Chorus: Both, Madeleine Hyland]
In the wreck of all we burnt
Stands our piano like a wound
I play our song
To see if it's in tune
(I'll sing silence)
But you, you sit next to me
And your finger brushes mine
And I promise to be patient
And you promise to be, promise to be kind

[Chorus: Both]
'Cause brick by brick you built us
Of the earth, the silt and ground
We can rest, you say, in the pieces
Of what's left, or of what what we've found
I wish I'd done things different
Oh I wish I'd made it right
But we'll burn a hundred theatres
If it means we get the wallpaper right

[Outro: Both]
I'll brick by brick rebuild us
Out of hows and whys, not whens
Nothing quite prepared me for
When that piano sang again
Tomorrow I'll do things different
Tomorrow I'll be brave
Tomorrow I'll be brave
Tomorrow I'll be brave
You'll make me brave
