Ruins

Today I climbed the highest mountain I have ever climbed

And I turned to look at ruins I had left behind and you

Where you so far removed from any truth?

I lost you, didn't I?

First , I think I lost myself

Children, then and forever locked in a memory

Oh then, that mirror searching for some kind of certainty that you

Were just the same as everyone but you were wrong

And it hurt you, didn't it?

All you couldn't be

Ruins

Ooh

Ruins

Ooh

I tried to hold onto some kind of dignity too long

I've waded through a vast and endless sea thinking

I could find the secret there within

But I gave up, didn't I?

Seemed the only way

Ruins are the things we built assured that they would last standing

On ticket stubs and written notes and photographs

Where are you and here somewhere I cannot go

I am sorry, I am but I won't take it back

And in the night I hear your voice sometimes but it quickly passes

In dreams I saw what I had thought could be some kind of answer

You try and try and try until you cannot try no more

Captured in our own

Ruins

Ooh

Ruins

Ooh

Ruins

Ooh

Ruins
